Banking on precision.

The article discusses the role of biobanks, focusing on Estonia's initiative to leverage genomic insights for public health benefits. Biobanks collect biological samples for research, offering personalized genetic information and population-wide insights. Estonia's biobank, transparent and participant-focused, has led to successful initiatives like polygenic risk screening for breast cancer. With additional funding for advanced genomic technology, such as long-read sequencing, Estonia's biobank aims to pioneer precision medicine at scale, setting a new benchmark for global health systems to follow.
