SUMMARY:Race\, Society\, and Genetics Virtual Seminar
DESCRIPTION:Monday\, October 31 | 12-1 pm ET | Virtual \nVirtual seminar: Race\, Society\, and Genetics \nSpeaker: Marwa Elnagheeb\, MPH\, Senior Coordinator\, Clinical Genome Resource\, UNC Chapel Hill \nSeminar abstract: Interactions between race\, society\, and genetics have played a major role in health disparities and inequities across the world. This presentation examines the history and definition of race\, sources of human genetic variation\, the lack of a biological basis for race\, and career paths in genetics. \nAbout the speaker: Marwa Elnagheeb graduated from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill with a B.A. in Biology and a Master’s in Public Health. While at UNC\, Marwa’s research has focused on three areas: (1) the impact of genetic variation and epigenetics on differential responses to adverse perinatal exposures\, (2) the effects of maternal host nutrient status on infectious disease development\, and (3) the role of socioeconomic factors in maternal and child health disparities. Marwa is a member of the Berg Lab at UNC and works with the Clinical Genome Resource as a Senior Coordinator to guide expert panels in determining the clinical validity of gene-disease relationships and pathogenicity of variants. \nJoin the seminar on Zoom.
