Prof Morahan has an outstanding scientific reputation, with over 250 scientific publications, including 20 in the world’s best scientific and medical journals. He has raised over $16 million in research funding since 2015. He was invited by the US National Institutes of Health to join the Steering Committee of their Type 1 Diabetes Genetics Consortium. He sees genes2health as bringing in a new era of personalised, precision medicine.
