He spoke of the great significance to human health of studies into environmental and genomic factors and the huge economic potential involved.

Chen noted that China's huge population gives it a big advantage in environmental genomics and pharmacogenetics studies, but he pointed out that easy success is out of the question even for Chinese scientists, who shall have to prepare themselves for long and strenuous work.
