NHGRI will host a Town Hall at Stanford University to gather ideas and feedback from researchers, trainees, industry experts, healthcare professionals, and other interested stakeholders in the San Francisco Bay area about current and future opportunities in genomics research and applications.
This discussion centered around several Grand Challenges, such as to "Meet the educational and professional development needs of K-12 educators and healthcare providers to increase the awareness and understanding of genomic information." This was an important opportunity for educators to influence the future landscape of genomics research and its intersection with society, education and community engagement.
This meeting brought together, for a day of intensive scientific exchange, NHGRI Advanced Sequencing Technology Program grantees and other scientists and engineers who may have insights that would help to achieve the goal of sequencing human genomes at high quality for $1,000 or less.
NHGRI hosted a "virtual" town hall about the recently launched strategic planning process to gather ideas and feedback from researchers, trainees, industry experts, healthcare professionals, and other interested stakeholders about current and future opportunities in genomics research and applications.
