The World Health Organization (WHO) Science Council of experts has issued its first report, on accelerating access to genomics for global health. The report argues that it is not justifiable ethically or scientifically for less-resourced countries to gain access to such technologies long after rich countries do. The field of genomics uses methods from biochemistry, genetics, and molecular biology to understand and use biological information in DNA and RNA, with benefits for medicine and public health – especially during the COVID-19 ...

In June, the National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI) concluded the seven-part virtual “Genomics and the Media Seminar Series.” The series featured trailblazers in science communication. Each speaker, an expert in communicating about genomics across media – including radio, podcasting, writing, speaking, publishing, and everything in between – was provided the opportunity to talk about what it is like to cover genomics today, such as the special challenges in reporting about such a quickly growing scientific field, and how that ...

On June 13, Dr. Andrés Moreno Estrada delivered a lecture for the Genomics and Health Disparities Lecture Series, co-sponsored by institutes in the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The Genomics and Health Disparities Lecture Series was formed to enhance opportunities for dialogue about how innovations in genomics research and technology can impact health disparities. Topics range from basic science to translational research. View Dr. Moreno’s session and other recordings on the NHGRI’s website.
