10. The Human Genome Project Begins
In 1990, scientists launched the ambitious Human Genome Project, aiming to map the entire human genetic code. This landmark effort revolutionized genetics, unlocking insights that have transformed medicine, disease research, and biotechnology. Its legacy is seen in today’s advances in personalized medicine, where treatments and therapies are tailored to an individual’s unique genetic makeup. The groundwork laid by the Human Genome Project continues to inspire innovation and shape the future of health care. [National Human Genome Research Institute]
