Who are we?
Genomics forum is made of individuals at the intersection of genetics, genomics, and public health.
Why Genomics?
​
Genomics is increasingly relevant to assuring the public's health. Developments in biomedical science and technology are shedding new light on how the "conditions" or environments in which people live, work, and play — be they physical, chemical, ancestral, psychological, or social -- affect our genomes, the expression of genes, and ultimately our health individually and collectively.
​
What do we do?
In addition to programming at the APHA Annual Meeting and Expo, the Genomics Forum has done the following:
-
Written letters to the editor of AJPH about issues in public health genomics
-
Developed and released policy statements accepted by AHPA
-
Published articles and scientific papers
-
Completed two national surveys on genomics programs
