How do you think the shared genetic heritage between Asian Indians and Europeans influences contemporary health research?
The ancestral migration from Europe and Russia to India's northern states, such as Himachal Pradesh and Punjab, has left a unique genetic footprint in India. As many Europeans and Russians have migrated to the USA and Canada, studying the genes of people from these Indian states could unlock valuable insights for Western health research.
Do you think if there were more easily available low-cost Asian Indian biosamples available then it would help cancer research globally?
