Congratulations to Drs. Rotimi and Adeyemo for their new positions with NIH
and for the tremendous contributions to AFSHG.  We hope that their new
positions will aid AFSHG to scale to another height in the pursuit of
excellence in genetic discovery and solutions to closing the gap in terms of
health disparities.

 

Regards

Hi everyone,



This is to announce the move of two members of the AfSHG Executive

 Committee, Dr. Charles Rotimi, President of the AfSHG, and Dr. Adebowale

 Adeyemo (AfSHG Communications/IT), from Howard University to the National

 Institutes of Health. Dr. Rotimi recently resumed as Director of the

 NIH Intramural Center for Genomics and Health Disparity (NICGHD) and

 Senior Investigator, Inherited Disease Research
 Branch of the National

 Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI). Dr. Adeyemo is now a Staff

 Scientist at the NICGHD.



NICGHD is a new NIC center that will employ a genomics approach,

 collecting and analyzing genetic, clinical, lifestyle and socio-economic

 data, to study a range of clinical conditions that have puzzled and

 troubled public health experts for decades. The research activities of
NICGHD

 will take place on the NIH Bethesda campus. Further information about

 the Center can be obtained at: http://www.genome.gov/26525381
<http://www.genome.gov/26525381> .
