The Covid-19 health crisis has underlined the importance of genome sequencing. Since the start of the pandemic, countries have leveraged genomic data to help them make quick, well-informed decisions due to the constant emergence of new variants. Beyond assisting government and private institutions in preparing for potential surges and ensuring that medical supplies are adequate to handle an increase in case loads, genome sequencing has also played a crucial role in public health response.

Dr Chee-Onn Leong, CEO of AGTC Genomics, will be featured on our Singapore Health and Wellness show for today, where he will provide listeners with extensive knowledge of genome sequencing technology and the significance of public-private partnerships to move the needle for adoption of this technology across the region.
