  2. Why Genes to Society? GENOMICS AND GENETICS ARE…

  3. Changing how we teach • Barton Childs – “genetic variation as essential to the study of human biology and medicine.” • Introduction of G2S curriculum at Johns Hopkins – David Valle • human variation • integration of basic science and clinical education • a riposte to genetic determinism • What our medical students hear about basic genetics and human health

  4. Changing how we do research • Genome-wide methods, synthetic genomes - Jef Boeke • HGP - a moon shot for technology development; $1K genome not far off • IBBS HiT Center • IGM • Computational Genomics • JH Individualized Health Initiative

  5. Changing patient care • Cardiology • Chakravarti (genes and sudden death) • Scheel (how to deal with genetic information) • Diabetes • Wondisford (using genetics to understand metabolic disease) • Cancer • Emens (where individualized medicine has made an impact) • MentalHealth • Willour (breaking news, a first hint at genetics of suicide) • Pediatrics • Cohn (using the clinic to inform research, all to improve clinical outcomes) • Hamosh (genetic counseling in a genetic world more complex than Mendel’s) • Dover (pediatrics is where it all started and where it’s all heading again)

  6. Help Us Help You • Please give us feedback! • Survey • JHM Media Relations • Let us know if you need anything • Audrey Huang • Vanessa McMains • Ekaterina Pesheva • Vanessa Wasta • Maryalice Yakutchik
