On this episode of FYI, hosts Nemo Marjanovic and Charles Roberts speak with Professor Dr. Michael Snyder, a leading figure in genomics and personalized medicine. The discussion traverses Snyder's work in genomics, systems biology, and the utilization of wearables for health monitoring. Professor Snyder outlines the potential of comprehensive multiomics analysis and artificial intelligence (AI) in predicting and preventing diseases, emphasizing the integration of lifestyle modifications and technology in extending human longevity. The conversation also covers the challenges and future directions of personalized medicine, offering insights into remote monitoring, longitudinal health tracking, and the critical role of data in transforming healthcare from reactive to proactive."Wearables...measuring you 24/7...We realized they're pretty powerful health monitors...and they'll measure way more than that...seeing shifts. We put too much emphasis on absolute value." -@SnyderShotKey Points From This Episode: Professor Snyder's journey into genomics and the inception of systems biologyGenomics in medicine: predictive and preventive careThe role of AI and machine learning (ML) in unraveling complex genetic diseasesLeveraging wearables for continuous health monitoring and disease predictionThe importance of longitudinal data in understanding individual health trajectoriesRemote monitoring and micro-sampling: the future of healthcareImpact of lifestyle choices on health and disease preventionThe potential of the human cell atlas and spatial methods in pathologyChallenges of integrating comprehensive omics data into clinical practiceThe vision for a future where healthcare is personalized, predictive, and preventive
