Episode 18: Precision health and genomics with Dr. Eric Green

Episode 1: Together for CHANGE: sequencing the African American genome with Lyndon Mitnaul and James Hildreth Sr.

We relaunch the OmicsXchange podcast with a new season, featuring genomics initiatives that are making an impact on communities. In this first episode of season 2, we speak with James Hildreth Sr., President and CEO of Meharry Medical College, and Lyndon Mitnaul, Executive Director of Research Initiatives at the Regeneron Genetics Center. Hildreth and Mitnaul lead a new multi-institution project called Together for CHANGE [https://thedhgi.org/en], which aims to sequence the African American genome and build capacity to overcome inequities in STEM careers.
