On this episode of the Transition, I’m joined by Yusuf Henriques, A former Army Combat Medic and Founder of IndeygeneUS AI, a Black-Owned & Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) genomics company that’s building a block-chain encrypted bio-repository of Indigenous and African genetic data for early disease prevention, detection, and drug discovery. After his twin daughters, Kayla and Keyara, were diagnosed at 14- years old with a rare and incurable eye disease, Yusuf set out to find a cure. Frustrated from watching his daughters jump from one medicine to the other, because their bodies didn’t react well to the various medicines due to their genetic makeup, he set out on a mission to study the human genome, find a cure for his daughters, and provide equity in healthcare for black and indigenous people across the world.
