SUMMARY:NHGRI Virtual Louise M. Slaughter National DNA Day Lecture
DESCRIPTION:Today\, April 25\, is National DNA Day\, which commemorates the completion of the Human Genome Project in 2003 and the discovery of DNA’s double-helical structure in 1953. Please join the NHGRI today from 1:00 PM to 2:00 PM ET for the virtual Louise M. Slaughter National DNA Day Lecture. This year’s speaker is Carter Clinton\, Ph.D.\, postdoctoral scholar at Pennsylvania State University in the Departments of Anthropology and Biology. He will share his research\, which looks to the past to improve our understanding of health disparities in African Americans today\, with an emphasis on the importance of diversity in genomic databases. A moderated Q&A session will follow the presentation. \nRegistration is required. \nThe annual Louise M. Slaughter National DNA Day Lecture honors the life and legacy of the late Representative Louise M. Slaughter (D-N.Y.). Congresswoman Slaughter was a strong advocate for genomics research\, and her tireless work on the Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act (GINA) helps protect Americans from discrimination in health insurance and employment based on genetic information. She was also responsible for passing the 2003 concurrent resolution in the U.S. House of Representatives that created National DNA Day. \nFor additional information\, visit the lecture event page.
