A Message from R. Rodney Howell, MD, FACMG, Foundation President

The human genome, and the knowledge that will be derived from its sequencing, will improve the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of disease for the benefit of humankind. Vast resources of time, expertise, and funds have been invested not only in researching the science, but also the complex ethical, legal and social implications of this major step forward in our understanding of human health.

 

The challenge remains, and it is a significant one, to translate this enormous body of information into safe and effective treatments and tests. Join us in our endeavor to translate genes into health.

 

Genzyme/ACMGF Clinical Genetics Fellowship in Biochemical Genetics

 

Newborn screening programs are rapidly expanding in the United States. However, there is a deficit of physicians specifically trained in the diagnosis, management and treatment of individuals with the metabolic diseases identified in the programs.  Genzyme/ACMGF seek to support a robust national fellowship program to promote and encourage the recruitment and training of clinicians for this purpose.
