As a little Hawaiian,
0
12866
1205
Kao malom dečaku sa Havaja,
moja mama i tetka su mi uvek pričale priče o Kalaupapi -
00:14
my mom and auntie always told me stories about Kalaupapa --
1
14095
3382
00:17
the Hawaiian leper colony
2
17501
1321
havajskoj leproznoj koloniji
00:18
surrounded by the highest sea cliffs in the world --
3
18846
2827
okruženoj najvišim morskim stenama na svetu -
00:21
and Father Damien,
4
21697
1412
i o Ocu Dejmijanu,
belgijskom misionaru koji je dao život za havajsku zajednicu.
00:23
the Belgian missionary who gave his life for the Hawaiian community.
5
23133

Kao mlada bolničarka, moja tetka je obučavala monahinje koje su se starale
00:27
As a young nurse,
6
27102
1363
00:28
my aunt trained the nuns caring for the remaining lepers
7
28489
2941
o preostalim obolelim od lepre skoro 100 godina
00:31
almost a 100 years after Father Damien died of leprosy.
8
31454
3277
nakon što je Otac Dejmijan umro od lepre.
00:36
I remember stories she told
9
36501
1671
Sećam se priča koje je pričala
00:38
about traveling down switchback cliff paths on a mule,
10
38196
2952
o putovanju uzbrdo i nizbrdo po stenovitim stazama na mazgi,
00:41
while my uncle played her favorite hula songs on the ukulele
11
41172
3131
dok je moj ujak svirao njene omiljene hula pesme na ukuleleu
00:44
all the way down to Kalaupapa.
12
44327
1677
sve do Kalaupape.
00:46
You see, as a youngster,
13
46730
1501
Vidite, kao dečaka,
00:48
I was always curious about a few things.
14
48255
1936
uvek me je zanimalo nekoliko stvari.
00:50
First was why a Belgian missionary chose to live in complete isolation
15
50681
5050
Prva je to zašto je belgijski misionar odabrao da živi u potpunoj izolaciji
00:55
in Kalaupapa,
16
55755
1190
u Kalaupapi,
00:56
knowing he would inevitably contract leprosy
17
56969
2230
znajući da će neizbežno doći u kontakt sa leprom
iz zajednice ljudi kojima je nastojao da pomogne.
00:59
from the community of people he sought to help.
18
59223
2380
01:02
And secondly,
19
62256
2337
Kao drugo,
01:04
where did the leprosy bacteria come from?
20
64617
2361
odakle potiče bakterija lepre
01:07
And why were Kānaka Maoli,
21
67002
1755
i zašto su Kanaka Maoli,
01:08
the indigenous people of Hawaii,
22
68781
2249
domorodački narod sa Havaja,
01:11
so susceptible to developing leprosy, or "mai Pake?"
23
71054
4362
tako podložni razvijanju lepre, ili „mai pake“?
01:15
This got my curious about what makes us unique as Hawaiians --
24
75853
3730
To me je zainteresovalo
za ono što nas Havajce čini jedinstvenim,
01:19
namely, our genetic makeup.
25
79607
1841
naime, za naš genetski sastav.
01:22
But it wasn't until high school,
26
82964
1944
Ipak, tek sam u srednjoj školi,
01:24
through the Human Genome Project,
27
84932
1612
kroz „Projekat ljudskog genoma“,
01:26
that I realized I wasn't alone
28
86568
2199
shvatio da nisam sam
01:28
in trying to connect our unique genetic ancestry
29
88791
2828
u pokušajima da povežem naše jedinstveno genetsko nasleđe
01:31
to our potential health, wellness and illness.
30
91643
3682
sa našim potencijalnim zdravljem, blagostanjem i bolestima.
01:36
You see,
31
96061
1150
Vidite,
projekat od 2,7 milijardi dolara
01:37
the 2.7 billion-dollar project
32
97235
1799
01:39
promised an era of predictive and preventative medicine
33
99058
3990
obećao je eru medicine koja predviđa i štiti
01:43
based on our unique genetic makeup.
34
103072
2413
na osnovu našeg jedinstvenog genetskog sastava.
01:45
So to me it always seemed obvious
35
105849
1676
Stoga mi je uvek delovalo očigledno da,
01:47
that in order to achieve this dream,
36
107549
2728
da bismo ostvarili taj san,
01:50
we would need to sequence a diverse cohort of people
37
110301
4013
moramo da sekvenciramo raznovrsne grupe ljudi
01:54
to obtain the full spectrum of human genetic variation on the planet.
38
114338
3404
kako bismo obezbedili celokupni spektar genetskih varijacija ljudi na planeti.
01:58
That's why 10 years later,
39
118303
2572
Iz tog razloga me, 10 godina kasnije,
02:00
it continues to shock me,
40
120899
1674
i dalje šokira
02:02
knowing that 96 percent of genome studies
41
122597
3214
to što znam da je 96 posto istraživanja genoma
02:05
associating common genetic variation with specific diseases
42
125835
3580
koja vezuju zajedničke genetske varijacije sa određenim bolestima
02:09
have focused exclusively on individuals of European ancestry.
43
129439
3801
fokusirano isključivo na pojedince sa evropskim poreklom.
02:14
Now you don't need a PhD
44
134069
1409
Ne treba vam doktorat
02:15
to see that that leaves four percent for the rest of diversity.
45
135502
3033
da uvidite da time ostaje četiri posto za ostatak raznovrsnosti.
02:19
And in my own searching,
46
139164
2128
U sopstvenoj potrazi,
02:21
I've discovered that far less than one percent
47
141316
2509
otkrio sam da se znatno ispod jednog procenta
02:23
have actually focused on indigenous communities, like myself.
48
143849
3074
zaista fokusiralo na zajednice domorodaca, kao ja.
02:27
So that begs the question:
49
147481
2047
To povlači pitanje
02:29
Who is the Human Genome Project actually for?
50
149552
2547
kome zapravo služi „Projekat ljudskog genoma“?
02:32
Just like we have different colored eyes and hair,
51
152853
2358
Baš kao što imamo oči i kosu različite boje,
02:35
we metabolize drugs differently
52
155235
1508
različito metabolišemo lekove
02:36
based on the variation in our genomes.
53
156767
1867
na osnovu varijacija u našim genomima.
02:38
So how many of you would be shocked to learn
54
158978
3437
Koliko vas bi bilo šokirano saznanjem
02:42
that 95 percent of clinical trials
55
162439
2782
da je 95 procenata kliničkih ispitivanja
02:45
have also exclusively featured individuals of European ancestry?
56
165245
4416
takođe isključivo izdvojilo pojedince sa evropskim poreklom?
02:50
This bias
57
170387
1335
Ova pristrasnost
02:51
and systematic lack of engagement of indigenous people
58
171746
3841
i sistematični nedostatak angažovanja domorodaca
02:55
in both clinical trials and genome studies
59
175611
2984
kako u kliničkim ispitivanjima, tako i u istraživanjima genoma,
02:58
is partially the result of a history of distrust.
60
178619
2940
delimično je rezultat istorije nepoverenja.
03:02
For example,
61
182893
1150
Na primer,
1989. godine, istraživači sa Državnog univerziteta Arizone
03:04
in 1989, researchers from Arizona State University
62
184067
3929
03:08
obtained blood samples from Arizona's Havasupai tribe,
63
188020
3566
prikupili su uzorke krvi iz plemena Havasupai u Arizoni,
03:11
promising to alleviate the burden of type 2 diabetes
64
191610
2934
obećavši da će im olakšati teret dijabetesa tipa 2
03:14
that was plaguing their community,
65
194568
1860
koji je harao njihovom zajednicom,
03:16
only to turn around and use those exact same samples --
66
196452
3885
samo da bi to preokrenuli i upotrebili te iste uzorke,
03:20
without the Havasupai's consent --
67
200361
1703
bez saglasnosti plemena Havasupai,
03:22
to study rates of schizophrenia, inbreeding,
68
202088
3505
da izučavaju stope šizofrenije, rađanje kod srodnika,
03:25
and challenge the Havasupai's origin story.
69
205617
2975
kao i da ospore priču o poreklu Havasupaija.
03:29
When the Havasupai found out,
70
209319
2542
Kada su Havasupaji to otkrili,
03:31
they sued successfully for $700,000,
71
211885
3193
uspešno su ih tužili za 700 000 dolara
03:35
and they banned ASU from conducting research on their reservation.
72
215102
5343
i zabranili su Univerzitetu sprovođenje istraživanja u njihovom rezervatu.
03:40
This culminated in a sort of domino effect
73
220961
3254
Ovo je kulminiralo nekom vrstom domino efekta
03:44
with local tribes in the Southwest --
74
224239
1762
kada su lokalna plemena na jugozapadu -
uključujući Naciju Navaho, jedno od najvećih plemena u zemlji -
03:46
including the Navajo Nation,
75
226025
1429
03:47
one of the largest tribes in the country --
76
227478
2087
03:49
putting a moratorium on genetic research.
77
229589
2247
stala na kraj genetskim istraživanjima.
03:51
Now despite this history of distrust,
78
231860
2881
Uprkos ovoj istoriji nepoverenja,
03:54
I still believe that indigenous people can benefit from genetic research.
79
234765
4475
i dalje verujem da domorodački narodi mogu imati koristi od genetskih istraživanja.
03:59
And if we don't do something soon,
80
239264
2245
Ako nešto ne učinimo uskoro,
04:01
the gap in health disparities is going to continue to widen.
81
241533
2867
jaz u pogledu zdravstvenih nejednakosti nastaviće da se širi.
04:05
Hawaii, for example,
82
245113
1405
Havaji, na primer,
04:06
has the longest life expectancy on average of any state in the US,
83
246542
3707
imaju najduži očekivani životni vek u proseku od svih zemalja SAD-a,
04:10
yet native Hawaiians like myself
84
250273
2857
a ipak, Havaji starosedeoci kao što sam ja
04:13
die a full decade before our non-native counterparts,
85
253154
3086
umiru čitavu deceniju pre naših stanovnika koji nisu starosedeoci,
04:16
because we have some of the highest rates of type 2 diabetes,
86
256264
4051
jer spadaju među najviše naše stope dijabetesa tipa 2,
04:20
obesity,
87
260339
1151
gojaznosti,
04:21
and the number one and number two killers in the US:
88
261514
2525
kao i prvog i drugog najvećeg ubice u SAD,
kardiovaskularnih oboljenja i raka.
04:24
cardiovascular disease and cancer.
89
264063
1839
04:25
So how do we ensure
90
265926
1719
Pa, kako da se osiguramo da populacije ljudi
04:27
the populations of people that need genome sequencing the most
91
267669
3151
kojima je najpotebnije sekvenciranje genoma
04:30
are not the last to benefit?
92
270844
1420
neće poslednje imati koristi?
04:32
My vision is to make genetic research more native,
93
272671
4723
Moja vizija je da učinimo da genetska istraživanja budu više domaća,
04:37
to indigenize genome sequencing technology.
94
277418
2411
da tehnologiju sekvenciranja genoma otvorimo za urođenike.
04:40
Traditionally, genomes are sequenced in laboratories.
95
280902
3031
Po običaju, genomi se sekvenciraju u laboratorijama.
04:44
Here's an image of your classic genome sequencer.
96
284555
2588
Evo slike klasičnog sekvenatora genoma.
04:47
It's huge.
97
287167
1151
Ogroman je.
04:48
It's the size of a refrigerator.
98
288342
1752
Veličine je frižidera.
04:50
There's this obvious physical limitation.
99
290750
2067
Postoji to očigledno fizičko ograničenje.
04:53
But what if you could sequence genomes on the fly?
100
293321
3119
Međutim, šta ako biste mogli da sekvencirate genome u letu?
04:57
What if you could fit a genome sequencer in your pocket?
101
297210
3301
Šta ako biste mogli da smestite sekvenator genoma u svoj džep?
05:03
This nanopore-based sequencer
102
303848
2398
Ovaj sekvenator zasnovan na nanoporama
05:06
is one 10,000th the size of your traditional genome sequencer.
103
306270
4485
je desethiljaditi deo tradicionalnog sekvenatora genoma.
05:10
It doesn't have the same physical limitations,
104
310779
2221
Nema ista fizička ograničenja,
05:13
in that it's not tethered to a lab bench with extraneous cords,
105
313024
4276
u pogledu toga da nije privezan za laboratoriju spoljnim kablovima,
05:17
large vats of chemicals or computer monitors.
106
317324
2525
za velike kace hemikalija ili kompjuterske monitore.
05:20
It allows us to de-black box genome sequencing technology development
107
320456
5151
Omogućava nam da pojednostavimo razvoj tehnologije sekvenciranja genoma
05:25
in a way that's immersive and collaborative,
108
325631
2612
na način koji je obuhvatan i podstiče saradnju,
05:28
activating and empowering indigenous communities ...
109
328267
2738
aktivira i osnažuje domorodačke zajednice
05:32
as citizen scientists.
110
332476
1441
kao građane-naučnike.
05:35
100 years later in Kalaupapa,
111
335092
2556
Sto godina kasnije u Kalaupapi,
05:37
we now have the technology to sequence leprosy bacteria in real time,
112
337672
4239
sada imamo tehnologiju za sekvenciranje bakterije lepre u realnom vremenu,
05:41
using mobile genome sequencers,
113
341935
2888
korišćenjem pokretnog sekvenatora genoma,
05:44
remote access to the Internet
114
344847
3009
daljinskog pristupa internetu
05:47
and cloud computation.
115
347880
1412
i računarstva u oblaku,
05:50
But only if that's what Hawaiian people want.
116
350440
2588
ali samo ako havajski narod to želi.
05:54
In our space,
117
354074
1296
Na našem prostoru,
05:55
on our terms.
118
355394
1450
pod našim uslovima.
05:58
IndiGenomics is about science for the people by the people.
119
358367
5805
„Indidžinomiks“ se odnosi na nauku za narod koju sprovodi narod.
06:04
We'll be starting with a tribal consultation resource,
120
364196
3945
Započećemo resursom plemenskih konsultacija,
06:08
focused on educating indigenous communities
121
368165
3211
fokusiranih na obrazovanje domorodačkih zajednica
06:11
on the potential use and misuse of genetic information.
122
371400
3019
o potencijalnoj upotebi i zloupotrebi genetskih informacija.
06:14
Eventually we'd like to have our own IndiGenomics research institute
123
374861
3310
Na kraju bismo voleli da imamo
naš institut za istraživanje „Indidžinomiks“,
da sprovodimo sopstvene eksperimente
06:18
to conduct our own experiments
124
378195
1429
06:19
and educate the next generation of indigenous scientists.
125
379648
3135
i obrazujemo sledeću generaciju domorodačkih naučnika.
06:23
In the end,
126
383523
1561
Na kraju,
06:25
indigenous people need to be partners in and not subjects of genetic research.
127
385108
4592
urođenički narodi treba da budu partneri, a ne subjekti u genetskim istraživanjima.
06:30
And for those on the outside,
128
390179
1953
Za one spolja,
06:32
just as Father Damien did,
129
392156
1484
baš kao što je Otac Dejmijan uradio,
06:34
the research community needs to immerse itself in indigenous culture
130
394625
4358
istraživačka zajednica treba da uroni u domorodačku kulturu
06:39
or die trying.
131
399007
1953
ili umre pokušavajući.
06:40
Mahalo.
132
400984
1205
Hvala.
