The All of Us Research Program

Thursday, March 28 | 9 a.m. ET | Online

Speaker: Geoffrey Ginsburg, MD, PhD

Dr. Geoffrey Ginsburg is the chief medical and scientific officer of the National Institute of Health (NIH)’s All of Us Research Program, where he leads the scientific vision and strategy for the program. Previously, he was founding director of the Center for Applied Genomics & Precision Medicine at Duke University School of Medicine and held senior leadership roles at Millennium Pharmaceuticals Inc. He has influenced precision medicine in the U.S. and internationally, serving as co-chair of the National Academies’ Roundtable on Genomic and Precision Health, a founding co-chair of the International HundredK+ Cohorts Consortium, and founder and president of the Global Genomic Medicine Collaborative (G2MC).

This talk will cover the All of Us Research Program—a historic effort to gather data from 1 million or more people in the U.S. to accelerate research and improve health, with a focus on engaging communities historically underrepresented in biomedical research. Since national launch in 2018, less than 750,000 participants have enrolled. Diverse participant partners (about 80% from underrepresented backgrounds including racial/ethnic minority groups, gender minority groups, disability status, access to healthcare, etc.) are sharing health-related data and biospecimens. All of Us data are housed in the cloud-based Researcher Workbench, which includes tools, support resources, sample data workbooks and more.
