University of Maryland School of Medicine. Institute for Genome Sciences.

https://www.igs.umaryland.edu/about/

Formed in May 2007, the Institute for Genome Sciences is part of the University of Maryland School of Medicine and is on the University of Maryland Baltimore campus.

Members of the IGS team have helped revolutionize genomic discoveries in medicine, agriculture, environmental science and biodefense.

The Institute is led by Claire M. Fraser Ph.D., a preeminent genome scientist and microbiologist, and a team of investigators who have been working on the cutting edge of genomic research for the past 15 years. Members of the IGS team have helped revolutionize genomic discoveries in medicine, agriculture, environmental science and biodefense. By applying genomic tools to clinical research, these investigators are creating new dynamics for understanding individual differences in our susceptibility to disease, for understanding the role of our bodies' microorganisms in health and disease, and for exploring new personalized therapeutics. IGS investigators are also leading the development of the new field of microbial forensics.

In the years since IGS was created, the institute has become a leading center for major biological initiatives currently underway including the NIH-funded Human Microbiome Project (HMP) and the NIAID-sponsored Genomic Sequencing Center for Infectious Diseases (GSCID).

Human genome

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_genome

The human genome is a complete set of nucleic acid sequences for humans, encoded as DNA within the 23 chromosome pairs in cell nuclei and in a small DNA molecule found within individual mitochondria. These are usually treated separately as the nuclear genome and the mitochondrial genome.[2] Human genomes include both protein-coding DNA genes and noncoding DNAHaploid human genomes, which are contained in germ cells (the egg and sperm gamete cells created in the meiosis phase of sexual reproduction before fertilization) consist of 3,054,815,472 DNA base pairs (if X chromosome is used),[3] while female diploid genomes (found in somatic cells) have twice the DNA content. While there are significant differences among the genomes of human individuals (on the order of 0.1% due to single-nucleotide variants[4] and 0.6% when considering indels),[5] these are considerably smaller than the differences between humans and their closest living relatives, the bonobos and chimpanzees (~1.1% fixed single-nucleotide variants[6] and 4% when including indels).[7] Size in basepares can vary too: telomeres size is decreasing after every duplication of chromosomes and size of centromeres can be slightly different (which was discovered when those were fully sequenced in 2022).

Jim Yong Kim

World Health Organization (2003–2006)

Kim left PIH in 2003 to join the World Health Organization (WHO) as an adviser to the director-general. In March 2004, he was appointed as director of WHO's HIV/AIDS department, after having success creating programs to fight the disease at PIH. Kim oversaw all of WHO's work related to HIV/AIDS, focusing on initiatives to help developing countries scale up their treatment, prevention, and care programs. This included an ambitious "3x5 initiative" designed to put three million people in developing countries on AIDS treatment by the end of 2005. The goal was not met until 2007, but according to the WHO, served to push the treatment strategy for AIDS in Africa further and faster than could have otherwise been hoped.[12][13] As of 2012, the program has treated more than 7 million Africans with HIV.
