Our take
Millions of people spend too much of their life with poor health, with medical professionals only able to treat diseases when symptoms start to present. But what if later-life diseases could be prevented earlier through a better understanding of public health? Our Future Health is a ground-breaking new study, aiming to collect a blood sample and a short questionnaire from 5 million members of the British public.
One of the two major strands of genomic study in the UK (the other is the Newborn Genomes Program which will be running in parallel), Our Future Health is set to become the largest health research program in the world. With funding from government and the private sector (with particular interest from pharmaceutical investors) it will cement Britain's reputation as a world leader in genomics, and is expected to lead to major advances in the fight against obesity, diabetes, heart disease and other causes of poor health.
Aside from looking for volunteers for the study, Our Future Health is also seeking engineering talent to help build the infrastructure that will gather, analyse and protect the research data. It will be exciting to see how this charity develops and what discoveries emerge from its data in the future.
