In the penultimate episode of Season 5, we talk to David Bick - Principal Clinician for the Newborn Genomes Programme at Genomics England, who tells us more about the programme's Generation Study, and how the echoes from the past are helping to usher in the future.
The Generation Study is a groundbreaking research study which will sequence the genomes of 100,000 newborn babies looking for treatable conditions, with the aim of them being seen by a specialist and receiving treatment before they become unwell.
