Upcoming Events
2026 MGI Annual Symposium
Registration is now open for the 2026 Michigan Genomics Initiative Annual Symposium, featuring keynote speaker Dr. Francis Collins!
Presented by AI & Digital Health Innovation, the Michigan Genomics Initiative (MGI) Annual Symposium is an opportunity for faculty, researchers and students with interest in genomics, genetics to gather, learn from each other, connect, and getting plugged in to all the resources we have to offer!
This year, we are thrilled to welcome keynote speaker Dr. Francis Collins!
Dr. Collins previously served as director of the National Institutes of Health (NIH) from 2009 to 2021. Prior to this role, he led the Human Genome Project and other genomics research initiatives as director of the National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI). He also served as Acting Science Advisor to the President in 2022.
In addition to his basic genetic research and scientific leadership, Dr. Collins is known for his close attention to ethical and legal issues in genetics. He has been a strong advocate for protecting the privacy of genetic information and has served as a national leader in securing the passage of the federal Genetic Information and Nondiscrimination Act, which prohibits gene-based discrimination in employment and health insurance. Dr. Collins is also very interested in opening avenues for genome research to benefit the health of people living in developing nations.
