A book, website, portal and multimedia program exploring what cutting-edge technologies in personalized medicine can tell us about individual health and life -- past, present and future: genes, environment, brain and body. A joint project with the Center for Life Science Policy, University of California at Berkeley.

 
WELCOME!
EXPERIMENTAL MAN
 
What One Man's Body Tells Us about His Future, Your Health, and Our Toxic World

By David Ewing Duncan

Book Due Out from John Wiley & Sons in early 2009.

Also watch for series about Experimental Man on the Today Show, Discover Magazine, and "Biotech Nation" on public radio. Details to follow.

This is a new website that will be added to over the coming months. It will include data from author David Ewing Duncan's tests covering his genes, environment, brain and body, along with commentary, analysis and musings about the usefulness and impact of this information on an individual human.

Read the synopsis of the book project.

The idea is to humanize the science by using the example of one person as a kind of everyman assessing not only this bold new world of self-discovery, but also the impact emotionally and philosophically of knowing so much about oneself.

THE EXPERIMENTAL MAN PROJECT will be working with the new Center for Life Science Policy at the University of California at Berkeley -- scheduled to launch late summer, 2008 -- to develop this site into a resource for the public and scientists wanting to download information, data, articles and thoughts about their own work or results on the topics of genes, environment, brain and body.
