George Church
Harvard Professor and PersonalGenomes.org Founder
George McDonald Church is an American geneticist, molecular engineer, and chemist. As of 2015, he is Robert Winthrop Professor of Genetics at Harvard Medical School and Professor of Health Sciences and Technology at Harvard and MIT, and was a founding member of the Wyss Institute for Biologically Inspired Engineering at Harvard. As of March 2017, Church serves as a member of the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists' Board of Sponsors.
Professor at Harvard & MIT, Director of PersonalGenomes.org, which provides the world's only open-access information on human Genomic, Environmental & Trait data (GET). His 1984 Harvard PhD included the first methods for direct genome sequencing, molecular multiplexing & barcoding. These led to the first genome sequence (pathogen, Helicobacter pylori) in 1994 . His innovations have contributed to nearly all "next generation" DNA sequencing methods and companies (CGI-BGI, Life, Illumina, Nanopore). This plus his lab's work on chip-DNA-synthesis, gene editing and stem cell engineering resulted in founding additional application-based companies spanning fields of medical diagnostics ( Knome/PierianDx, Alacris, Nebula Genomics, Veritas Genetics ) & synthetic biology / therapeutics (AbVitro/Juno, Gen9/Ginkgo, Editas, Egenesis, enEvolv, WarpDrive ).

- Doesn't do anything special
- Exercises
- Vegan - with additional nutrients (e.g. omega-3) from vegan sources
- Metformin (as has tendency to prediabetes)
