SUMMARY:Michael Thaler\, MD\, "Coming Era of ‘Genomic’ Medicine"
DESCRIPTION:Economic Round Table of San Francisco\n\nTo deconstruct Shakesp
 eare in modern terms "The fault\, dear Brutus\, lies not in our stars\, but
  in our genes if we are underlings."  In less lofty but more practical term
 s\, Dr. Thaler will demonstrate why spitting into a test tube may become th
 e most risky thing you’ll ever be asked to do. He'll explain the evolutiona
 ry DNA code\, how it works\, and the profound ways in which this knowledge 
 is about to transform every aspect of our legal\, biomedical and social env
 ironment.  In particular\, he'll discuss why ‘genomic medicine’ will make o
 r break any health care system of the future. \n\nDr. Michael Thaler is cur
 rently Professor of History at UC Santa Cruz and was previously Professor o
 f Pediatrics\, Chief of Pediatric Gastroenterology\, Hepatology and Nutriti
 on and Director of NIH Research Training Program in Pediatric Gastroenterol
 ogy and Nutrition at UC San Francisco.\n\nDr. Thaler's extensive accomplish
 ments and background are reviewed in the following link:\nhttp://journals.l
