On November 18, 2021, NHGRI will host an NIH Genomics and Health Disparities Special Interest Group lecture, "NIH Approach to Inclusive Excellence - The COSWD Viewpoint" by Marie A. Bernard, M.D.
Event
The Excellence in Clinical Research Seminar Series is designed to facilitate clinical research in the rare disease space with a focus on aspects of regulatory medicine and clinical trials in Mendelian disorders.
News Release
In an article published in the American Journal of Human Genetics, researchers have found that words scientists use to describe populations have changed from 1949 to 2018.
News Release
In a large-scale study of people from diverse ancestries, researchers narrowed down the number of genomic variants that are strongly associated with blood lipid levels and generated a polygenic risk score to predict elevated low-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels, a major risk factor for heart disease.
News Release
NHGRI has selected Charles Rotimi, Ph.D., as the next scientific director. In this role, he will lead the institute’s Intramural Research Program, which conducts basic and clinical research to enable a greater understanding of human disease and to develop better methods to detect, prevent and treat genetic disorders.

An interview with Meru Sadhu, an Earl Stadtman Investigator and head of the systems biology and genome engineering section within the NHGRI Intramural Research Program, where he talks about his research and why yeast have a special place in his heart.
Media Advisory
The National Institutes of Health (NIH) will host researchers from the Telomere-to-Telomere (T2T) consortium, who have now sequenced the remaining 8% of DNA that was unable to be sequenced by the Human Genome Project and has eluded researchers for nearly two decades.
News Release
Scientists have published the first complete, gapless sequence of a human genome, two decades after the Human Genome Project produced the first draft human genome sequence.
