Sorry for the short post but I wanted to get this out to you. The Secretary's Advisory Committee on Genetics, Health and Society has released the agenda for its March 26th and 27th meeting. What is the SACGHS? Well, it is a group of doctors, scientists, lawyers, ethicists, etc that have been asked to serve the Secretary of Health and Human Services. They advise HHS on genomic matters. In other words they help shape policy. As a matter of fact they played a big role in the GAO investigation into DNA Direct, and other direct to consumer testing sites. I'll bring the transcripts as soon as the meeting is over. Have a good weekend.
To usher in the new paradigm of personalized medicine we will need to travel a perilous path. Much like the route through the Himalayas it has punished the naive and self-reliant. That is why I have dedicated my life to being a Gene Sherpa. What is a gene sherpa? The Sherpa speaks the language of the trail, he/she knows short cuts and dangerous paths to avoid. This blog is for those wishing to take the journey and those wishing to become Gene Sherpas.
