The goal of the challenge was to harness creative ideas that could advance the culture and infrastructure of our department in support of a more diverse, equitable, and inclusive environment.
In early 2021, the Department of Genetics donated $2000 to the Health Professions Recruitment and Exposure Program at Harvard Medical School. Outlined in the letter of thanks we received is some of the invaluable work that HPREP does for HMS:
Carla Kim, PhD received one of Lung Association’s 98 research investments to advance the understanding of Using “Organoid” Model of Lung Cancer to Test Treatment.
Olivier Pourquié, the Frank Burr Mallory Professor of Pathology at Brigham and Women's Hospital and professor of genetics in the Blavatnik Institute was nominated to the National Academy of Science this spring.
Researchers at Harvard Medical School and the New York State Department of Health have discovered how a common plasticizer associated with human reproductive abnormalities likely does its damage at the molecular level.
Norbert Perrimon, the James Stillman Professor of Developmental Biology in the Blavatnik Institute at HMS, was named to receive one of two 2019 Breakthroughs in Gerontology (BIG) Awards by the Glenn Foundation for Medical Research.
