Description

Every day, we accumulate trillions of mutations in our body’s genetic material. How does our body stay the course amidst this constant genetic change and what's the link between our genes and our well-being? In this episode we speak to clinician researcher Associate Professor Owen Siggs who explains why genomics may be as much a part of your future GP visits as taking your blood pressure or checking your cholesterol.
