Then, for the next 25 years, they will take regular measurements of sleep patterns, heart rate, gut bacteria, proteins that track organ health, blood samples, immune cell activity and more. &quot;What is unique about humans is their individuality,&quot; said Leroy Hood at the American Association for the Advancement of Science annual meeting. Hood said scientists will be on the hunt for &quot;actionable opportunities for each individual,&quot; such as how they could change their nutrition to improve their health or avoid certain drugs that might be dangerous given their genetic makeup.</p><br clear="all"/>
