PRESENTATION TITLE
Genomics for All of Us

PRESENTER(S)
Joshua Denny, MD

PRESENTER BIO

Dr. Joshua Denny has been involved with All of Us since its inception. He was a member of the Advisory Committee to the NIH Director Precision Medicine Initiative Working Group, which developed the program's initial scientific blueprint. He then led the program's initial prototyping project and the All of Us Data and Research Center. Dr. Denny was named CEO of the All of Us Research Program in January 2020.

Before joining NIH, Dr. Denny was a practicing physician and held several leadership positions at Vanderbilt University Medical Center, including professor of biomedical informatics and medicine, founding director of the Center for Precision Medicine, and vice president for personalized medicine.

‘Too often, health care is one size fits all: treatments meant for the “average” patient may not work well for individual people, health care providers may find it difficult to coordinate care among specialists or to access all of a patient’s health information and researchers may spend lots of time and resources creating new databases for every study. The NIH All of Us Research Program is part of an effort to advance individualized health care by enrolling one million or more participants to contribute their health data over many years; the program aims to reflect the diversity of the United States and to include participants from groups that have been underrepresented in health research in the past.  The program is developing custom tools and software to help researchers analyze participant data while keeping information secure; working together, All of Us researchers, partners, and participants aim to build a better future for health care.’

          
LEARNING OBJECTIVES 
After the presentation, attendees will be able to:

• Describe the current landscape of precision medicine and genomic research
• Identify gaps in data and participation among populations underrepresented in biomedical research and strategies to increase diversity
• Describe health-related research results in pharmacogenetics and hereditary disease conditions being generated by All of Us and potential impact to healthcare providers
• Recognize the kinds of data available on the All of Us Researcher Workbench and the opportunities available to researchers to leverage this data to advance scientific research, including current activities underway at Mayo Clinic
