Personal Genomics – A Podcast from the Center for Cancer Genomics
On the Personal Genomics podcast, real people tell their personal stories about research.
Personal Genomics is a podcast about people—people working in genomics research and facing a variety of scientific, technological, and personal challenges.
From repurposing video games, to building something new and amazing, to becoming a patient, there’s a lot that happens behind the scenes that we don’t often talk about.
The Center for Cancer Genomics (CCG) brings you personal stories from real people about the organic, messy process that is research.
