For most of history, scientific and medical studies have tended to involve primarily white people, and mostly white men. We now know those findings don’t always apply to people from different genetic and environmental backgrounds. That’s why the All of Us Research Program’s goal is to accelerate medical discoveries by gathering data on health, habits, family history, genetics and environment from one million or more participants — and particularly participants from historically underrepresented communities. At UC San Diego Health, All of Us is led by Lucila Ohno-Machado, MD, PhD, professor and chair of the Department of Biomedical Informatics. In this episode, she talks about the program, what she’s excited about and what’s coming next. Learn more at http://joinallofus.org.
