- 00:00Welcome everybody and thank you
- 00:02for joining us this afternoon.
- 00:03I am mailing Fernandez Garcia,
- 00:05a postdoctoral associate in the
- 00:06Department of Psychiatry and Genetics.
- 00:08Before we begin.
- 00:09Please note that at the end of our talks,
- 00:12that will be a service, so hope you
- 00:14take the chance to fill the survey.
- 00:16An because of the zoom
- 00:18format of the workshop,
- 00:19we won't be taking questions
- 00:21at the end of our type up.
- 00:23Please feel free to add your questions
- 00:25in the chat and will try to make
- 00:28sure to forward them to a speakers.
- 00:30So to kick up the workshop,
- 00:33it is my great pleasure to introduce
- 00:36our leadership Doctor Nancy
- 00:37Brown and author Antonio had all.
- 00:40This will hear first from Doctor
- 00:42Nancy who graduated from Yale
- 00:44College and earned her medical
- 00:47degree from Harvard University.
- 00:48She completed internship and
- 00:50residency programs in medicine
- 00:52at Vanderbilt University,
- 00:53where she also did a fellowship
- 00:56in clinical pharmacology.
- 00:57In 2020, she became the Wallacedene,
- 00:59an long professor.
- 01:01Of internal medicine at Yale
- 01:03School of Medicine.
- 01:04Our second speaker,
- 01:06doctor Antonio Hidalgo is studied.
- 01:08Chemistry and molecular biology at the
- 01:11University of College and University,
- 01:13Autonomous of Madrid.
- 01:14He did his pH D at the MBL
- 01:18in Haleburg in Germany.
- 01:20Anna postdoc at the Skirball Institute in NY,
- 01:24Yuan, Harvard.
- 01:25He established his liberatory here,
- 01:27yelling into hundreds into 2007,
- 01:29where he investigates the
- 01:31regulatory codes and shapes.
- 01:33Gene expression during embryonic development.
- 01:35He was the director of graduate
- 01:37Studies from 2012 to 2016
- 01:39and is currently the chair of
- 01:41the Department of Genetics.
- 01:43Welcome Doctor Brown and Doctor Harold.
- 01:45As we look forward from hearing
- 01:48from both of you.
- 01:50Thank
- 01:50you, melon. I am delighted to welcome
- 01:52you to today's Steam Workshop,
- 01:54which is our final in the
- 01:57series this academic year.
- 01:59Today's topic is our new Yale
- 02:01Center for Genomic Health.
- 02:02This was launched last year and
- 02:05brings together researchers and
- 02:06other partners investigating the
- 02:08genetic basis of health and disease.
- 02:11And in this workshop you will hear state
- 02:14of the art genomic resources at Yale.
- 02:17You'll hear of highlighted studies and
- 02:20in progress across the University.
- 02:22The workshop will also introduce
- 02:24Doctor IRA Hall,
- 02:25who is our inaugural Director of
- 02:27the Yale Center for Genomic Health.
- 02:29And IRA will discuss the centers,
- 02:32focus a new efforts underway
- 02:34to promote interactions among
- 02:35our genetic investigators.
- 02:37As we usually do at the conclusion
- 02:39of the workshop,
- 02:40we will provide as Mail and
- 02:42set an online survey link for
- 02:44your ideas and your questions.
- 02:46Let me now welcome Doctor Antonio
- 02:47Heraldic chair of Genetics
- 02:49to add his introduction.
- 02:52Thank you Nancy and I I really,
- 02:54really exciting to be here.
- 02:57Join being Brown in welcoming
- 02:59all of you to the team workshops,
- 03:03interviews and showcase different
- 03:04ages different like Genomics,
- 03:06ayele and introduced. Use the help.
- 03:10So Center for Genomic Health really really
- 03:12builds an average year of discovery.
- 03:14A yell from the genetic
- 03:16spaces of health and disease,
- 03:18and I mean, you know many first,
- 03:20across the last five decades,
- 03:21just to mention a few,
- 03:23the sequencing of the first viruses.
- 03:26I just meant the mechanism metabolic
- 03:29disorders orders by December an.
- 03:32One of the first pregnancies by
- 03:34Doctor Mahoney and replace is off.
- 03:37Blood pressure came a few and more
- 03:39recently one of the first exam sequences
- 03:42for life or largely analysis with
- 03:45the Yale Center for Genome Analysis.
- 03:48As Tim Brown pointed out,
- 03:50this center will combine genomics and
- 03:52data science, improve human health,
- 03:54and really brings together many
- 03:56of the different efforts adults
- 03:59and hospital to understand stand
- 04:01how the genome Berman influence
- 04:03human is human disease and how use
- 04:06that to provide to improve.
- 04:09Center is also aligned with several of
- 04:12the University key priorities for this
- 04:14strategic planning for the next decade.
- 04:16Decade,
- 04:17muscle precision medicine,
- 04:18they send the information science and
- 04:21Cancer Research or research build
- 04:23and understand really the genetic
- 04:25basis of basis of many cities and how
- 04:27our genomes Internet environmental
- 04:28factors to influence the predisposition
- 04:30to different different assist.
- 04:32This of course,
- 04:33Furman Center in our minds as we go
- 04:35through this pandemic and significance.
- 04:38Those are affected by covid.
- 04:40Differently.
- 04:42They said the center is also fun
- 04:44and has been there when they work.
- 04:47A joint partnership and we should first
- 04:50cold medicine and Yale New Haven Hospital.
- 04:53And I will never mark this,
- 04:55because this been a tremendous
- 04:58partnership as well as.
- 05:00The division and input of made
- 05:02of many different faculty echoes,
- 05:04including Raccoon Alpha,
- 05:05male pole to Harry, and gives.
- 05:07In particular,
- 05:07it is thanks to joint support of the
- 05:10leadership from the medical school.
- 05:12That's called the Browns and Insall burn,
- 05:14as well as the CEO from the hospital,
- 05:17Mark Margie Brainstorm and President
- 05:19Aquila and President Church with church
- 05:21well as well as Richard Lisitano,
- 05:23with whom this would have not been
- 05:25possible to initiate the student
- 05:27recruit the funding that I found
- 05:29in the table.
- 05:30And the clinic and the direct and
- 05:32the Director of Clinical operating
- 05:34model with whom we will hear about it.
- 05:37So as genome sequence become camps
- 05:39underdiagnosis in future yell
- 05:41Center for Genomic Health,
- 05:42will be poised to make novel discoveries
- 05:44that allow us to interpret the
- 05:47genome and define the mechanisms of
- 05:49disease and develop a better to be
- 05:51better to talk her thought further ado,
- 05:53I would like like to pass a pass on
- 05:56to the organizer. Answers to Idaho.
- 06:00Funding.
- 06:03Thank you Doctor Brown and he
- 06:05does this for your remarks.
- 06:07So now we will hear from Doctor Aare,
- 06:10Doctor IRA Hall, who graduated
- 06:12from the University of California,
- 06:14Berkeley and earned his pH.
- 06:16D in Cold Spring harbor laboratory.
- 06:18He is currently a professor in the
- 06:20Department of Genetics and director of
- 06:23the Yale Center for Genomic Health.
- 06:25His lab work on questions related
- 06:27to human genome variation,
- 06:28complex traits,
- 06:29genetics and genomic data science.
- 06:32Science doctor Hall.
- 06:33We look forward for your talk.
