SUMMARY:The Biology of Health Disparities: Ancestry-Driven Drug Discovery
DESCRIPTION:Thursday\, October 6\, 2022 | 2-3 p.m. ET | Virtual & In Person (Bethesda\, MD) \nThe Division of Intramural Research (DIR) sponsors a monthly series of talks by intramural and special guest speakers celebrating genetics and genomics research. Speakers are selected by NHGRI intramural faculty and trainees and cover research topics of interest to a wide audience. All seminars are free and open to the public. \n“The Biology of Health Disparities: Ancestry-Driven Drug Discovery” seminar will be delivered by guest speaker: \nK. Sean Kimbro\, Ph.D.\nProfessor\, Department of Biomedical and Biological Sciences\nDirector\, Integrated Bioscience Ph.D. Program\nJLC Biomedical Biotechnology Research Institute\nNorth Carolina Central University \nRegistration is required to attend the Zoom meeting.

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.
