The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) Million Veteran Program (MVP) is now one million Veterans strong!
At Personalis, we’ve delivered over >180K whole-genome sequencing (WGS) samples for the VA MVP program, which is a national research program looking at how genes, lifestyle, military experiences, and exposures affect health and wellness in Veterans.
We’re excited to announce our participation in “One Million Reasons,” a celebratory event honoring this momentous milestone in health research.
Christopher Hall, CEO at Personalis, and Christian Haudenschild, PhD, SVP, Genomic Laboratory Services at Personalis, will be participating at the event next week on September 23rd, 2024 in Washington D.C.
Dr. Haudenschild will be sharing key insights about the impact the MVP data has had on genetic research and understanding of genomics during a panel session, “How MVP has Changed the Game.”
We look forward to celebrating this historic milestone with fellow researchers, industry leaders, MVP leaders, and Veterans.

4moThis is a great test no doubt. I wonder if the 1800 different mutations that the test can detect allow it to make it more globally relevant by covering any race or ethnicity driven variations.
