When Saudi Arabia's first Rhodes Scholar ordered a genetic test during her PhD studies, she discovered a troubling reality: precision medicine has borders. With 80% of genetic data coming from European populations and Arabs representing less than 1% of research data, millions are invisible to the very medical advances meant to serve them. Dr. Majd Abdulghani reveals how this genetic data gap creates real barriers to personalized healthcare and calls for breaking down these boundaries through inclusive research. Drawing from her personal journey from high school biology to Oxford genetics research, she demonstrates why true precision in medicine requires the full spectrum of human genetic diversity—and why Saudi Arabia is uniquely positioned to lead this transformation.
