A Conversation with the 4 NHGRI Scientific Directors
NHGRI has had four amazing scientific directors that led our Intramural Research Program (IRP): Jefferey Trent, Eric Green, Dan Kastner and Charles Rotimi (our current director). To celebrate our IRP’s 30th anniversary, the scientific directors came together to discuss genomics research, challenges and successes and some fun memories in a two-part video recorded in July 2023.
