Presented By: Dr. Jason White

Speaker Biography: Jason White, PhD is a postdoctoral fellow at Morehouse School of Medicine in the Institute of Translational Genomic Medicine. His primary research interests are in investigating the genomic and biological underpinnings of cancer disparities in people of African ancestry. In particular, he is interested in identifying genomic variants of unknown significance and elucidating their diagnostic, treatment and prognostic value in people of African ancestry. Prior to arriving at MSM, Dr. White completed his doctoral training at Tuskegee University.

Webinar: Diving into the Unknown to Address Cancer Disparities: Genetic Diversity and Variants of Unknown Significance

Key topics to be covered: Disparities in Genomic Research: The historical bias towards European populations and its impact on genomic data interpretation. VUS Rates and Clinical Implications: The heightened prevalence of VUS in Non-European populations and its role in exacerbating healthcare inequities. Opportunities for Health Equity: How focusing on the study of VUS can help close health disparity gaps, by offering new, clinically actionable genomic insights. This presentation aims to highlight the importance of increasing diversity in genomic databases and research to ensure equitable healthcare advances for all populations.
