Francis Collins and the Secrets of Personalized Medicine

Francis Collins' new book, The Language of Life: DNA and the Revolution in Personalized Medicine, came out yesterday. His home town is proud: Staunton's News Leader reports that people there have had been inquiring about the book in advance. The owner of a local bookshop, Ron Ramsey, says he isn't surprised since he still sells copies of Collins' first book. According to the Harper Collins, the new book "describes the medical, scientific, and genetic revolution that is currently unlocking the secrets of 'personalized medicine,' and offers practical advice on how to utilize these discoveries for you and your family's current and future health and well-being."
