Personal Genomics - A Podcast from the Center for Cancer Genomics

6 episodes - English - Latest episode: about 2 years ago -

Personal Genomics is a podcast about people—people working in genomics research and facing a variety of scientific, technological, and personal challenges. From repurposing video games, to building something new and amazing, to becoming a patient, there’s a lot that happens behind the scenes that we don’t often talk about. The Center for Cancer Genomics from the National Cancer Institute brings you personal stories from real people about the organic, messy process that is research. If you have questions about cancer or comments about this podcast, email us at [email protected] or call us at 800-422-6237.
