Instructor: Steven Charlap, M.D.
23andMe, AncestryDNA, Color Genomics, Invitae, and Ambry. The list of genetic testing companies is long and growing, and they all want you to get genetically tested. But is testing right for you? Does your age matter? After his brother’s passing from a genetically mediated cancer, Dr. Charlap spent three years at Stanford studying genomics, doing published genomics research, and receiving a grant from Stanford to create a tool to help people determine if genetic testing is right for them. He then spent two years at Harvard continuing his research. Come learn everything you need to know about genetic testing to help determine if it is right for you and your family.
