George Church, professor of genetics and director of the Center for Computational Genetics at Harvard Medical School, says regeneration is the key to treatments and keeping people healthy.
He’s focusing on induced pluripotent stem (IPS) to reprogram genomes genetically and epigenetically. The goal: support personalized genomics by establishing an IPS line for every single person who gets sequenced in the PGP (Personalized Genome Project).
