Genomes2People

At , we’re advancing genomic medicine to make precision healthcare a reality. From sequencing newborn DNA to studying healthy adults, our research explores how genomic information can prevent disease, guide care, and improve outcomes.

Exciting updates from Annual Clinical Genetics Meeting! Dr. Holm, Dr. Goldenberg, and Dr. Johnson did an incredible job representing BEACONS-NBS in Baltimore last week.

They shared insights from the first 6 months of BEACONS-NBS, including gene list development, integration of ELSI considerations throughout all aspects of the project, and plans for implementation.

We are looking forward to following along as the project progresses!

Here at G2P we are incredibly lucky🍀 to work alongside our fantastic genetic counselors! Wishing everyone a happy and lucky St. Patrick’s day!

📌 Local to MGH or BWH? Join us at the newly launched Genomics Implementation Collective seminar, led by Dr. Jason Vassy.

🧬 A biweekly research-in-progress meeting series for the genomics implementation community.

👏 Intended as a forum where trainees, junior faculty, and senior faculty can discuss and share feedback on ongoing research, from grant conceptualization through data analysis and interpretation.

✨ We hope to see you there! DM us for more information!

2026 — the Year of the Fire Horse — is said to symbolise intensity, transformation, and untamed momentum. 🔥🐎 In genomics, we call that evolution. If the Fire Horse is about bold movement, then this is our moment in genomic medicine: turning genetic insight into real-world impact, from newborn screening to precision.

| Our Social Media Manager Pakhi Rajesh Kumar Dixit has quietly gone and done something. 👀 This year, she was selected as one of just 10 Fellows of the RSA — a 270+ year institution known for shaping ideas at the intersection of society, science, culture, and policy. We’re proud, slightly smug, and absolutely cheering her on. 🧬✨ Yes, she’s still running our socials. You can read more about here here: https://www.thersa.org/rsa-journal/rsa-journal-issue-4-2025/new-fellows/

| Celebrating Dr. Nina Gold, MD (Medical Genetics & Metabolism, Mass General Hospital) at the 2025 MGH Claflin Distinguished Scholars Award. 👏

It’s always something special to see brilliant work get recognised especially when it comes from someone who puts so much heGenomes2People for families and pushing paediatric genetics forward. Really glad we at got to witness this one. 🧬🩵

Celebrating the people at the heart of genomic medicine — the families, the clinicians, the counselors, the researchers, and every curious mind pushing the field forward. 💙
Here’s to science that listens, care that evolves, and discoveries that make a difference for real people, every day.

Today we celebrate the heart, brain, and steady magic of genomic care — our incredible genetic counselors. 💙
You decode complexity, calm nerves, guide families, and somehow make genomics feel a little less… genomicky.
Happy Genetic Counselor Appreciation Day! We’re grateful for everything you do — today and every day. ✨🧬
