40 scientists, 40 years of breakthroughs

In honor of 40 years of scientific discovery, we’re talking to scientists from all over the world who have used our solutions to lay the groundwork for their history-defining breakthroughs, as well as the rising stars who are pushing the boundaries and tackling some of the most important unanswered questions facing genomics, today and into the future.

During his decades-long career in both academia and the private sector, Sir Peter Donnelly has applied his statistical and mathematical background to advancing the field of polygenic risk scores. "If we're successful... there will be millions of people alive in 20 to 30 years time who wouldn't be alive otherwise. That's how important it is."

Watch his full story to learn more.
