This website is designed to be a resource for people wanting to learn more about personalized medicine - the tailoring of diagnostics and health care to individuals - and its implications. It features the results of one man's extensive testing of his genes, environmental impacts, brain and body, along with commentary, analysis and musings about the usefulness and the impact of this information on individual human beings like you. The effort is to explain and humanize a new wave of science that is likely to profoundly change our vision of our health, and who we are.

THE EXPERIMENTAL MAN PROJECT will be working with the new
Center for Life Science Policy at the University of California at Berkeley to maintain this site as a resource for the public and for scientists wanting to download information, data, articles and thoughts about their own work or results on the topics of genes, environment, brain and body.
Educational Materials: What is personalized medicine, and how will it impact you?
