This year at the American Society of Human Genetics, UCLA's department of computational medicine hosted a reunion for all alumni of the Computational Genomics Summer Institute (CGSI) in October 2019. Some of the lab members of the Computational Medicine Department presented their posters and ASHG has honored their outstanding achievements in the field through its annual awards.
These awards recognize individuals with a diverse background of experience, ideas, and perspectives for a variety of activities, including carrying out substantial research and far-reaching scientific contributions to the field, expanding human genetics education, promoting the science of human genetics and its application for the common good, and mentoring efforts to cultivate the next generation of professionals in human genetics.
