Precision Genomics Collaboratory
We are pleased to announce the 3rd annual School of Medicine Genomics Scientific Retreat hosted by the Precision Genomics Collaboratory. This day-long retreat will be held Friday, December 8, 2023, in the Trent Semans Center Great Hall.
Our keynote speakers are Sarah Tishkoff, PhD, David and Lyn Silfen University Professor in genetics and biology at the University of Pennsylvania; and Geoff Ginsburg, MD, PhD, Chief Medical and Scientific Officers for the All of Us research program.
Sarah Tishkoff, PhD, studies genomic and phenotypic variation in ethnically diverse Africans. Her research combines field work, laboratory research, and computational methods to examine African population history and how genetic variation can affect a wide range of traits – for example, why humans have different susceptibility to disease, how they metabolize drugs, and how they adapt through evolution.
Geoff Ginsburg, MD, PhD, is the chief medical and scientific officer of the All of Us Research Program at the National Institutes of Health. He leads the Division of Medical and Scientific Research and is responsible for helping to set the scientific vision and strategy for the program. He also oversees the program’s collection and curation of data and integration of new data types to support a wide range of impactful scientific discoveries.
