Abstract

The scale and population coverage of Our Future Health, alongside other next-generation biobanks, offers unique opportunities to advance genomic medicine. Focusing on the UK context, we provide a researcher’s perspective of how this new resource could reach its full potential in a way that is impactful, user-friendly and informs related global efforts.
