About
This event is free and open to researchers and the public.
The La Follette School is the new home of the Initiative in Social Genomics, one of the world’s largest and most innovative collaboratives in the groundbreaking field of social genomics. The Initiative integrates social science and genetic research to study how genes are linked with human behavior and socio-economic outcomes, how genes and environments interact, and how social conditions can influence humans all the way down to the cellular level. The work considers precision health, precision medicine, and the possibility of precision policy.
