+### Eric Green (Illumina)
+
+#### Talk title TBD
+
+<b>Dr. Eric Green, M.D., Ph.D.</b>,  is the recently appointed Chief Medical Officer at Illumina. As Illumina’s medical leader, Dr. Green is responsible for guiding global efforts to advance the clinical application of genomics, expand access to precision medicine, and increase diversity in genomic data to improve healthcare for people worldwide.
+
+Prior to joining Illumina, Dr. Green was a genomics researcher and leader at the National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI) at the U.S. National Institutes of Health, including serving as the NHGRI Director for more than 15 years. Under his directorship, NHGRI became a driving force in integrating genomics into medicine and public health. Dr. Green was also the founding Director of the NIH Intramural Sequencing Center.
+
+For over two decades, Dr. Green directed a research program that included start-to-finish roles in the Human Genome Project; groundbreaking work on mapping, sequencing, and comparing mammalian genomes; discoveries about the genes involved in several rare genetic diseases; and efforts to accelerate applications of genomics in healthcare. Dr. Green earned his M.D. and Ph.D. in 1987 from Washington University in St. Louis; coincidentally, the word “genomics” was coined in that same year. Dr. Green’s awards include being elected to the National Academy of Medicine in 2023, honored with the 2025 Leadership Award by the American Society of Human Genetics, and designated a Fierce 50 Innovation Honoree of 2025 (which honors “Trailblazers Redefining Health, Science, & Patient Care”).
