The battle against COVID-19 is a worldwide challenge unlike any in living memory. The Georgia Tech community has joined the fight, contributing our expertise, innovation, and indomitable spirit to the effort. Even as we remain committed to serving our students, faculty, and staff, we have accelerated our advancement of technology in response to our world's new reality. In fact, our work has deepened the understanding of Covid-19’s trajectory, the risks associated with gatherings, Covid-19's impact on the economy, and helped to save lives and improve health outcomes locally around the world.

I will give a two-part talk that starts with a discussion of my groups research on genomic profiling in human populations, and leads to
a presentation of my vision of the relationship of the Center for Integrative Genomics to the IBB and Systems Biology programs at
Georgia Tech. We are broadly interested in the question of how environmental and cultural factors interact with genetic
predisposition to shape human phenotypic variation, from gene expression in peripheral blood to facial expression in growing infants.
Genomic profiling is built around genome-wide association studies (GWAS) of gene expression, metabolomics, and epigenetic marks
in a variety of cohorts available through collaborators at Emory and our own contacts in places like Fiji and Morocco. I'll discuss the
Center for Health Discovery and Wellbeing cohort at Emory midtown, as well as initiatives in cystic fibrosis, cardiology, cancer
survivorship, and newborn children.
