Prominent investigators in genomic research shared their visions of the field’s future with a crowd at Natcher Conference Center on Feb. 11. The meeting, hosted by the National Human Genome Research Institute, marked the release of its new strategic vision for genomics, which was published Feb. 10 in Nature.
Joining NHGRI director Dr. Eric Green for the day-long symposium “A Decade With the Human Genome Sequence: Charting a Course for Genomic Medicine,” were NIH director Dr. Francis Collins; Dr. James Watson, Nobel laureate, founding director of what became NHGRI and co-discoverer of the molecular structure of DNA; Dr. Eric Lander, director of the Broad Institute; and Dr. Maynard Olson, professor emeritus of genome sciences and medicine at the University of Washington.
