NASA astronaut Kate Rubins featured at 2024 NHGRI Symposium

Dec 5, 2024 | genome.gov | Eric Green

I had a wonderful time catching up with so many genetics and genomics colleagues at the American Society of Human Genetics (ASHG) Annual Meeting last month in snowy Denver. In addition to meeting with the ASHG Board of Directors, I stopped in at a few meetings of research consortia and spent multiple hours greeting genomics and genetics enthusiasts at the NHGRI booth on the exhibit floor.
History of Genomics Program launches virtual exhibits

It’s been a hectic and productive autumn for both me and NHGRI! Last month, I was delighted to give talks at two major meetings. First, I spoke at the 3rd International Conference for Newborn Sequencing in New York City; followed by a symposium in Toronto associated with the presentation of the 2024 Canada Gairdner Awards, which this year recognized the work of several pioneers of next-generation sequencing technologies.
NHGRI appoints James Thomas as new NIH Intramural Sequencing Center Director

Last month, I was delighted to give a convocation address to the entering class at Spelman College in Atlanta, Georgia. Since most of the students in attendance are not majoring in the sciences, I focused on how genomics is increasingly relevant in our everyday lives. It was such an honor to give this lecture in the Sisters Chapel, a historic site for many reasons including being the place where the late Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. lay in state for two days in 1968.
To build success, agile manufacturers harness big data

Sep 26, 2024 | smartindustry.com | Eric Green

Big data has become indispensable to manufacturing operations. The sheer volume of information generated at every stage of production presents both unprecedented opportunities and formidable challenges. In today's interconnected world, manufacturing disruptions can swiftly propagate across borders, highlighting the urgent need for robust, data-driven solutions. The key to unlocking the full potential of big data lies in its transformation.
NHGRI welcomes Robert Rivers as new TiDHE Office Director

We have an exciting month ahead at NHGRI, starting with the September 2024 meeting of the National Advisory Council for Human Genome Research, which is less than a week away! The new director of the NIH Center for Information Technology, Sean Mooney, Ph.D., will speak during the open session of this meeting. I encourage you to attend Dr. Mooney’s and the other important talks that will take place during the council’s open session on September 9.
Vision of a Genome Pioneer

The most impactful advance we have seen in genomics since the HGP’s completion has been the technical strides in genome sequencing. Back then, sequencing that first human genome cost about $1 billion. Now, less than two decades later, we can sequence a patient’s genome for diagnostic purposes for less than $1,000.

It may be summer, but things are incredibly busy for me and NHGRI!Last month, I visited Australia for a week, during which I met with dozens of genomics researchers and gave several talks, including a seminar co-hosted by Australian Genomics and the Centre for Population Genomics. A recording of that talk is now available on YouTube.
Inaugural class of ASHG-NHGRI Genomics and Public Service Fellows arrives

I just returned from a productive and jam-packed trip to Australia, during which I received an informative update about all-things human genomics going on Down Under. The week included visiting three cities, giving three talks, touring multiple genomics research institutions, and meeting with many talented researchers, clinicians, trainees, and government officials.
NHGRI awards second annual Bettie J. Graham Leadership Awards for excellence in DEIA

Jun 5, 2024 | genome.gov | Eric Green

Last month was a busy time at NHGRI, including a very productive meeting of the National Advisory Council for Human Genome Research. My favorite highlight of the director’s report, which I gave at the beginning of this meeting, was announcing the first cohort of fellows in the new American Society for Human Genetics (ASHG)-NHGRI Genomics and Public Service Fellowship Program. Note that I will have more to say about these fellows when they start in early July.
