(KGW) Near the elevators of Oregon Health and Science Universitys Knight Cancer Research Building, you wont find Doritos or Coca-Cola inside the vending machines.<\/p>\n

Youll find DNA kits instead.<\/p>\n

The idea behind the vending machines started about a year ago.<\/p>\n

The DNA kits are a unique way for researchers to learn more about how behaviors, lifestyle and genetics play a role in a persons risk for cancer.<\/p>\n

Its more than a DNA kit. The Healthy Oregon Project app also lets anyone who downloads it fill out surveys that give researchers a better understanding about how lifestyle factors contribute to the risk of cancer and other chronic diseases. The app will also give you important information as well.<\/p>\n

I think its a really novel opportunity to think about what is the population level risk of having these different genetic mutations. I think its exciting to provide that information to people, explains OHSUs Dr. Jackilen Shannon.<\/p>\n
