Google创始人布林的老婆,23andMe的CEO,生物学家Anne Wojcicki给23andme的用户发出了一封公开信。大部分的是在说23andme的研究计划,最后说道23andme要在2015年庆祝它的第100万个用户。再加上最近23andme跟各大药厂的火热互动,2015年确实会激动人心啊。
Gang,
I'm excited about 2015! We are starting the New Year with new customers around the world, new research collaborations and many employees working diligently on our FDA submission.
2015年会是激动人心的一年!随着新年一起到来的,还有世界各地的新客户和新的科研伙伴,还有那些正在为我们的FDA审批而努力工作的员工们。
As CEOs do, I look into the future to make sure we are working towards our mission: to help people access, understand and benefit from the human genome - and that we are committed to our vision: accelerating the pace of significant genetic discoveries. As we head into 2015, I will continue to be focused on 23andMe initiatives that fulfill our mission and vision.
作为CEO,我不忘初心:帮助人们获取和理解人类基因组,并从中获益——这就是我们的愿景:推动遗传学的新发现。展望2015,我会继续全身心投入23andme去完成我们的任务和愿景。
Our focus on research will grow as we partner with academics and scientists, non-profit organizations and for-profit companies globally, to use genetic data for good. Our research team will collaborate with new partners to find better drug therapies, opportunities for disease prevention, disease treatments and ultimately, genetic paths to cures. This is an important part of why I started the company - to make sure we empower ourselves and empower others. Both are equally important.
随着我们在全球各地的学术圈和科学家、非盈利机构和盈利性公司的合作伙伴的不断增加,我们的研究也会有巨大的进展,遗传数据会带来越来越多的好处。我们的科研团队跟新的合作伙伴展开各个领域的合作,包括更好的药物治疗、疾病预防、疾病治疗,最终用遗传学的手段治愈疾病。这是我创建这家公司的重要原因——我们不仅能让自己强大,也能让别人变得强大。这两者同等重要。
I'm excited about the possibility of new disc优艾设计网_Photoshop论坛overies coming out of our collective data for research, and yet I also believe it's important you are in control of your data. If you do not want to participate in research, you can always opt-out. You own your data.
基于我们收集的数据,有可能会诞生很多新发现,这让我很激动。同时,我认为用户掌控自己数据的权利也很重要。如果您不愿意参与这些研究,您随时可以退出。你的数据,听你的!
It's been an exciting eight years since we launched 23andMe. I have heard from thousands of you about how 23andMe has impacted your life. As we approach our millionth customer, we are planning a celebration that demonstrates the power and potential of individuals knowing their DNA. Do you have a story to share? We would love to hear from you and make you part of our celebration: Tell us your story.
23andMe走过的这八年是激动人心的。我从成千上万的用户那里听到了23andMe是如何改变了大家的生活。我们即将迎来我们的第100万个用户。到时我们会有一个庆祝活动,向大家展示知道自己的DNA会有很大的作用和潜力。你有什么故事想跟大家分享吗?我们希望能听到您的故事,并使其成为我们庆祝活动的一部分:告诉我您的故事。
I wish you the best for 2015.
祝2015年一切顺利!
Anne
