Prof. dr. Hidde Haisma in Sportlab Sedoc
How important are good genes if you want to become a professional athlete? Gregory Sedoc, Dutch Olympian, investigates.

Gregory undergoes a gene research with his brothers and prof. dr. Hidde Haisma, coordinator of the Health and Life Sciences major at University College Groningen, analyses the results.
