A major goal of human genetics and genomics research is to understand, treat, and correct genetic diseases and alleviate patient suffering. However, moving discoveries from the bench to the bedside can be both daunting and lengthy. The 2024 Distinguished Speakers Symposium will feature leaders who have made important basic science discoveries and navigated the journey from discovery to drug development, clinical trials, and implementation of new therapies. Their work has given hope to patients and framed the ethics, policy, and communication around ground-breaking genetics and genomics research.
