Dr Neil Hanchard joins NHGRI as a clinical investigator

Dr. Neil Hanchard joins NHGRI as a clinical investigator SHARE: Dr. Hanchard will lead the new Childhood Complex Disease Genomics Section. The National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI) has appointed Neil Hanchard, M.D., Ph.D., as a clinical investigator within the Medical Genomics and Metabolic Genetics Branch (MGMGB) in the NHGRI Division of Intramural Research. Dr. Hanchard will head the Childhood Complex Disease Genomics Section within the MGMGB. “We are delighted to welcome Neil Hanchard to the NHGRI Intramural Research Program,” said Dan Kastner, M.D., Ph.D., NHGRI s scientific director. “Neil and his team will bring new energy and academic vigor to studies of the genomics of African ancestral populations, health disparities in underrepresented populations and precision medicine. Neil is an intellectual giant who will bring his outstanding scientific track record to the institute.”

DNA-editing method shows promise to treat mouse model of aging disease progeria

DNA-editing method shows promise to treat mouse model of aging disease progeria Using a recently developed DNA base-editing technique, researchers correct accelerating aging disorder. Researchers have successfully used a DNA-editing technique to extend the lifespan of mice with the genetic variation associated with progeria,  a rare genetic disease that causes extreme premature aging in children and can significantly shorten their life expectancy. The study was published in the journal  Nature, and was a collaboration between the National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI), part of the National Institutes of Health; Broad Institute of Harvard and MIT, Boston; and the Vanderbilt University Medical Center, Nashville, Tennessee.
