4th Annual Genomics Scientific Retreat

The fourth annual Precision Genomics Collaboratory Retreat will be held on December 13, 2024. This is a day-long event in the Trent Semans Center Great Hall celebrating and highlighting genomics research across Duke University. Our keynote speakers are Beth Sullivan, PhD, from Duke University, and Daniel Rader, MD, from Penn Medicine. Beth Sullivan, PhD, James B. Duke Distinguished Professor of Molecular Genetics and Microbiology at Duke University. Sullivan focuses on how chromosomes are organized into inherited chromatin domains and is working to understand mechanisms of formation and behavior of chromosome abnormalities that are associated with birth defects, reproductive abnormalities, and cancer. Daniel Rader, MD, Chief, Division of Human Genetics; Seymour Gray Professor of Molecular Medicine, Chair, Department of Genetics; Chief, Division of Translational Medicine and Human Genetics, Department of Medicine, Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania. Rader is a physician-scientist who has focused his career on using human genetics to identify novel pathways involved in metabolic and cardiovascular phenotypes and diseases. He has also pursued the implications of his work for translational therapeutics and precision medicine.
