DIYgenomics: Research Model
 Goal: preventive medicine
 Realize preventive medicine through predictive risk profiling,
determining baseline markers of wellness and variability, and
engaging in personalized pre-clinical interventions
 Generalized hypothesis
 One or more polymorphisms may result in out-of-bounds
baseline levels of phenotypic markers which may be
ameliorated through personalized intervention
Genotype + Phenotype + Intervention = Outcome
Vitamin B Study: MTHFR SNPs + Vitamin B & Homocysteine Blood Test + Vitamin B = Personalized Outcomes

Personalized Preventive Medicine and You!
1. Continuous health information climate
Automated digital health monitoring, self-tracking devices,
and mobile apps providing personalized recommendations
2. Peer collaboration and
health advisors
Health social networks, crowdsourced
studies, health advisors, wellness
coaches, preventive care plans,
Individual boutique physicians, genetics coaches,
aestheticians, medical tourism
3. Public health system
Deep expertise of traditional health system
for disease and trauma treatment

DIYgenomics Press Coverage
"...'accelerating the professionalization' of do-it-
yourself studies" - March 2012
"Ordinary people are taking control of their health
data" - December 2011
"A group called DIYgenomics has banded together to
analyse their genomes, and even conduct and
participate in small clinical trials" - October 2010
"...early adopters are showing how empowering and
beneficial to science personal genetic information can
be" - September 2010
"...they wanted to build a model trial that could be
easily replicated by citizen scientists anywhere" -
