24th Annual James Neel M.D. Lecture in Human Genetics
featuring Professor Matthew Hurles, FMedSci FRS presenting “Causes and Consequences of New Mutations”
Please join us on Monday, May 12, 2025, starting at 1:00 PM in Kahn Auditorium, BSRB, for the 24th Annual James V. Neel Lecture in Human Genetics. Professor Matthew Hurles, the Director of the Wellcome Sanger Institute, will present "Causes and Consequences of New Mutations". Professor Hurles leads a research group focused on deciphering the genetic causes of severe developmental disorders and aims to understand how DNA mutates as it is passed from generation to generation. The lectureship will be followed by a poster session and reception in the ABC Seminar Rooms. The attached flyer provides detailed information; please share this with your colleagues.

ABOUT ANNUAL JAMES V. NEEL LECTURE IN HUMAN GENETICS
James V. Neel Lecture in Human Genetics honors the legacy of James Neel through lectures by prominent genetic researchers and fellowship awards to outstanding graduate education students. James Van Gundia Neel, M.D., Ph.D., was a pioneer in the study of human genetics and one of the first to foresee its importance in the diagnosis and treatment of medical conditions. During his 39-year career in the U-M Medical School, Neel established one of the first clinics to evaluate and counsel people with hereditary diseases, as well as the first academic department of human genetics in the United States. During a distinguished career spanning more than 60 years, he made major contributions to our understanding of the genetics of several human diseases including diabetes mellitus, neurofibromatosis, and sickle cell anemia, of the effects of atomic radiation on humans, and of the genetic structure of Amerindian populations.
