One day physicians may be able to personalize our medical care based on the genetic information we carry around with us on a thumb-drive. Using nano-scale structures, researchers are trying to develop inexpensive ways to sequence a complete genome, says Jeffery Schloss, Program Director for Technology Development Coordination at the National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI). At the May 2 Johns Hopkins NanoBio Symposium, hosted by the Institute for NanoBioTechnology, Schloss will discuss current research in this area, as well as the nanotechnology related activities of the National Institutes of Health (NIH).
