17th Annual James V. Neel Lectureship

The Department of Human Genetics hosts an annual lecture by prominent leaders in genetic research. This endowment honors the legacy of James V. Neel, M.D., Ph.D, the founder of our department and pioneer in the study of human genetics.
   
Uta Fracke will be the keynote speaker.
   
Uta Francke is professor of Genetics and Pediatrics Emerita at Stanford University. Her research has ranged from human and mouse chromosome identification and gene mapping to the discovery of genes involved in heritable disorders, studies of their functions and of disease-causing mechanisms. Applying genomic technologies to mammalian genetics research, her laboratory developed mouse models for human microdeletion syndromes.
