Precision medicine seeks to tailor medical treatment to an individual’s genome sequence, and promises to lead to better outcomes through the development of more effective therapies and therapeutics. However, the field is severely biased towards individuals of European descent, and has the potential to increase, rather than decrease, disparities in health care outcomes between groups and individuals. Our research directly seeks to reverse this trend, with available projects giving students the opportunity to work with genome sequencing data from diverse populations in Southeast Asia and develop their skills in computational data analysis.
