FILM: Professor Sir John Bell discusses Our Future Health

In this presentation, Professor Sir John Bell discusses the UK's Our Future Health research programme. (If you can't see the film embedded above, you can watch it on YouTube.)

Our Future Health is discussed in the new Ten-Year Health Plan for England, in which the UK Government announces that it will 'begin integrating genomic insights into cardiovascular disease prevention and care through a trial with Our Future Health', and that it will 'launch a new globally unique set of studies, utilising Our Future Health, to explore personalised prevention of obesity and related conditions'.

Professor Bell is chair of Trustees at Our Future Health, president of the Ellison Institute of Technology and chair of the Gates Foundation's scientific advisory committee. His presentation was originally given at the PET event 'Genomes Feedback and Follow-On: The Long-Term Impact of Our Future Health' (see BioNews 1295).
