Topic: 

The value of diverse ancestries in understanding causes of diseases

Abstract:

Through this talk, I will use both existing literature (published by others) and some of our own research to highlight how increasing the diversity of sources of genetic data can help untangle the aetiology of complex cardio-metabolic diseases. I will try to explain how this has implications for the diagnosis and management of common conditions. Finally, I will discuss why we should look Eastward for answers to some of our more baffling health problems.
