Check out one participant’s experience with the NIH All of Us Research Program on Good Morning America. Three quotes from the feature: https://lnkd.in/exwkmSNF 🤝"Trust is something that we put at the very forefront. It's one of our core values as a program, and we partner with community-based organizations that are within communities where there has been distrust with research," 🧑🧑🧒🧒"We make an effort to make sure that participants are at the very center of everything we do." 🔑“For me, I gained a lot of perspective on my health and the typically inscrutable information in my DNA that may predict future health challenges. I feel like I can provide important information to my kids about their genetic information, and I know I did something to help science and the future of medicine.” 💡Learn more about the NIH All of Us Research Program here: https://lnkd.in/e75X-U9H #NIH #precisionmedicine #joinallofus #futureofmedicine #research

Check out this story from Good Morning America featuring the The National Institutes of Health Office of Nutrition Research’s (#ONR) very own Holly Nicastro, Ph.D., MPH as she describes the importance of the Nutrition for Precision Health (#NPH) study powered by the All of Us Research Program. Dr. Nicastro and Samantha Adas, MS, RDN coordinate the NPH study. The #data collected from the NPH study will be used to improve how people eat. The goal is to help predict how people respond to different ways of eating, so we can then tailor personalized ways of eating for people, to help them meet their health goals #research #precisionnutrition #wearenih #allofus #nutrition #microbiome #diet #artificialintelligence #algorithms

As we come to the end of Leukodystrophy Awareness Month, we want to highlight the importance of awareness and increased understanding about leukodystrophies in our communities.
