Prof Kate Tatton Brown: Knowledge is Changing The World of Healthcare As We Know It

"We need to think about Genomics and we need to think about education because both are going to massively, massively change, and improve. I think we will be living in a very different space [in 30 years] than we are now...we are at the tip of the Iceberg."
