SUMMARY:Bradford Hill Seminar - From Genes to Public Health: The Journey Continues!
DESCRIPTION:All are invited to the online Bradford Hill Seminar: \nFrom Genes to Public Health: The Journey Continues!\nDr Muin J. Khoury\nEmory University School of Public Health and University of Washington School of Public Health \nRegister to attend\nPlease note this will be a free online seminar\, \nRegister at https://events.teams.microsoft.com/event/a94d948f-ff86-4256-bd91-c14c5adf1841@49a50445-bdfa-4b79-ade3-547b4f3986e9 \nAbstract\nDr. Muin J. Khoury recently retired from the CDC after a 40-year public health career\, including 26 years leading the Office of Public Health Genomics\, which he formed in 1998. He contributed to the development of genetic epidemiology\, public health genomics\, and precision public health; fields that are vital for realising the population health benefits of genome discoveries. \nThe trajectory from genes to public health is still early but Dr Khoury believes the next 40 years promise to be even more exciting in applying these fields to save lives\, prevent disease\, and reduce health inequities. Dr Khoury warns that many of the advances in genomics translation and implementation could be unravelled because of the current turmoil and budget cuts in science and public health in the United States. This talk offers his perspective on the evolution and contributions of these fields\, and recommendations for increasing their population health impact. \nAbout Dr Muin J. Khoury\nDr Khoury was the founding and only Director (1998-2024\, retired) of the Office of Public Health Genomics at the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)\, established to assess the public health impact of the Human Genome Project. He is currently an adjunct Professor of Epidemiology at the Emory Rollins School of Public Health in Atlanta\, Georgia\, and affiliate professor in the Public Health Genetics Institute at the University of Washington in Seattle\, Washington. He also serves on the editorial boards of multiple scientific journals. \nDr Khoury holds an M.D.\, and a Ph.D. in Human Genetics/Genetic Epidemiology. During his 40-year career in public health\, he spearheaded numerous national and international initiatives to translate advances in genomics and other technologies into effective\, ethical interventions to improve population health and reduce inequities. He has extensively published on genetic epidemiology\, public health genomics\, and precision public health\, including four books\, and won multiple scientific and service awards for his contributions to the field. \nAbout the Bradford Hill seminars\nThe Bradford Hill seminar series is the principal series of The Cambridge Population Health Sciences Partnership\, in collaboration with the PHG Foundation. This comprises the Departments of Public Health & Primary Care\, MRC Biostatistics Unit and MRC Epidemiology Unit at the University of Cambridge\, bringing together a multi-disciplinary partnership of academics and public health professionals. The Bradford Hill seminar programme of internationally recognised speakers covers topics of broad interest to our public health research community. It aims to transcend as well as connect the activities of our individual partners. \nAll are welcome at our Bradford Hill seminars.
