Advances in genomic medicine hold enormous promise, but that promise cannot be fully realized without greater diversity in research and clinical application.

In this webinar, Eimear Kenny will discuss how population genetics can drive more accurate, equitable genomic health by expanding representation in genomic studies and databases. Drawing on work from her group at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, she will highlight efforts in expanding the understanding of human genomic diversity by prioritizing populations underrepresented in genomics, developing and sharing computational tools that improve precision across diverse populations, and uncovering disease-related genetic architectures shaped by demographic history.

In this webinar, attendees will:

• Learn how her research group is expanding diversity in large-scale genomic databases and integrating new models of genomic medicine into routine clinical care to ensure insights translate into real-world practice

• Explore why inclusivity, methodological innovation and diverse populations are essential to advancing genomic health, improving patient care and promoting health equity
