ASHG TV Episode 1: Welcome to ASHG2024

Since 1948, the American Society of Human Genetics has been committed to realizing the benefits of human genetics and genomics research for people everywhere. As thousands of geneticists, researchers, and educators come together for the annual global interdisciplinary gathering, only ASHG TV is taking you beyond the sessions and speeches.

Welcome to Denver, Colorado and to ASHG 2024. This week we are here to highlight how the ASHG is bringing you the most compelling genetics and genomics science of the year. Straight ahead today we welcome you to ASHG 2024 with a special message from your 2024 Program Committee Chair, Dr Beth Sullivan.

Plus, we take you inside both ASHG journals! We’ll dive deep into how these publications serve the rapid expansion of discoveries in human genetics and genomics.

And we kick off our tour highlighting the institutions breaking new ground in genetics research with a stop in England! We introduce you to "The Generation Study” transforming how we diagnose and treat genetic conditions in newborns.
