Profile
David Bodine, founder of the Hematopoiesis Section and chief of the Genetics and Molecular Biology Branch, advanced the fields of gene therapy and hematology in his 38 years at the NIH. Now, he plans to continue his contributions to science as an emeritus and through training the next generation of scientists.
News Release
NIH researchers have successfully identified differences in gene activity in the brains of people with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). The study, led by scientists at the National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI), found that individuals diagnosed with ADHD had differences in genes that code for known chemicals that brain cells use to communicate.
Profile
NHGRI researchers recently published a study using virtual reality simulations to investigate how clinicians might use a type of genomic risk information called polygenic risk scores in medical care.
Profile
Dr. Joan Bailey-Wilson, who retired in September 2022, looks back on her 42-year career as a scientist and reflects on the rapid growth of the genomics field.
The Genomics Landscape
In the November 3, 2022 edition of The Genomics Landscape, NHGRI Director, Eric Green, M.D., Ph.D., reflects on the important genomics legacy of the Human Heredity and Health in Africa (H3Africa) program as it comes to an end.
News Release
NHGRI researchers have discovered clues to the possible cause of recurring, non-contagious fevers and sores that affect only children. Several genes have been implicated with the syndrome, known as PFAPA syndrome (Periodic Fever, Aphthous Stomatitis, Pharyngitis, Adenitis), which could lead to new treatments.
Clinical Research
The goal of this study is to learn more about the genetic contributions to the severity of disease of COVID-19.
Careers and Training
Scientists and thousands of other professionals are using discoveries in genetics to revolutionize the world. This means careers in genetics and genomics are booming. And there are many other careers you don’t usually think of as science, like education, social work, and even law and the arts that are affected by this growth, creating even more career opportunities.
