Innovating Genomics: The Opportunities for Healthcare through Genomic Medicine

“Never before in history has innovation offered promise of so much to so many in so short a time.” 

--Bill Gates, American Entrepreneur and Founder of Microsoft Co.

My day started as if I’m in a different environment.  For just one day, I tried to forget that I’m a medical student.  Today, I came to UP med feeling a different sense of confidence.  For just a day, I broke away from the drab of the white uniform and went along with my artistic, innovative costumes for today’s performance.  Yes, for just this time.  I became someone else.
