Overview

Disease, famine, and drought create human health and environmental struggles, which can be confronted and overcome by professionals who have been educated and trained in the basic sciences as well as applied- and integrated-scientific fields.

Genomics and proteomics have led the scientific frontier to integrative omics, the culmination of interdisciplinary research and collaboration.

It is through this integration of scientific study and research that society will triumph over disease and natural disaster by: crafting personalized medical treatments based on an individual’s genome and proteome, creating plants that can nourish and immunize human populations, resisting insect and microbiological pests without the need for pesticides, and surviving drought conditions.
