2025 Presidential Welcome and Address: Stronger Together: Advancing Human Genetics Through the Power of Community

This year’s Presidential Address will highlight the vital role of community in advancing human genetics and genomics research. It will underscore how collaboration and inclusion are essential to making scientific discoveries that benefit all populations. By embracing global genomic variation, we gain critical insights into human evolutionary history, biological variation, and the genetic underpinnings of disease.

The event will also feature special recognition of Francis Collins, MD, PhD, former Director of the National Institutes of Health, for his enduring contributions to the field.

Learning Objectives
