“Building Systems Thinking” with Dr. Leroy Hood – Frontiers in Systems Biology
Introducing the inaugural Frontiers in Systems Biology Webinar, the first of a series of digital meetings that seek to integrate mindsets within scientific research and encourage systems thinking.
Our Inaugural webinar features Dr Leroy Hood, the world-renowned scientist and pioneer in the fields of genomics and systems biology. Dr Hood will reflect upon his career, discuss the paradigm shifts in science and medicine he has witnessed, and explore the importance of integration across scientific fields and systems thinking as central to the future of healthcare.
Dr. Hood’s pursuit of innovation and systems thinking led him to pioneer and co-develop automated DNA sequencing technology, laying the foundation for the human genome project. Having founded the Institute for Systems Biology, he has since developed the concept of P4 medicine, an integrated approach that combines predictive, preventive, personalized, and participatory healthcare. He is one of only a handful of individuals who have been elected to all three US National Academies (Science, Engineering, and Medicine). Don’t forget to pose your question to Dr. Hood in the Q&A chat as part of our Q&A session following the interview.
