Genomics and Health Disparities Lecture Series - I. King Jordan

Lecture Title: Genetic ancestry, population structure, and health outcomes in the All of Us Research Program cohort
November 14, 2024 - I. King Jordan, Ph.D. is Professor in the School of Biological Sciences and Director of the Bioinformatics Graduate Program at the Georgia Institute of Technology. Members of Dr. Jordan's laboratory at Georgia Tech conduct bioinformatics research with an emphasis on human population genomics and genetic ancestry inference in support of health equity. His group also develops software for large-scale genome sequence and functional genomic analyses. In addition to his research and development efforts, Dr. Jordan is actively engaged in bioinformatics and genomics capacity building, with a focus on global health in Africa and Latin America. He was named a Fulbright Scholar to Colombia and cofounded the PanAmerican Bioinformatics Network.
The Genomics and Health Disparities Lecture Series was formed to enhance opportunities for dialogue about how innovations in genomics research and technology can impact health disparities. www.genome.gov...
