Giving to the PHGIC

Are you interested in...

the genetics of heart disease, hypertension, diabetes, cancer, etc.,
the genetics of our response to drugs,
newborn genetic screening policies,
how genetics is changing our understanding of human diversity,
preventing the unethical use of genetic information,
opportunities to lesses health disparities that genetic technologies present,
or increasing the genetic literacy of health practitioners?

It may appear that science is headed toward genetic selection of children, organ farms, or embryonic research, without being adequately engaged or aware of the ethical, legal, and social implications. You can help ensure future public health professionals are trained in the biology, technology, applications, responsibilities, and issues of genetic information which will play an increasing role in our understanding of health and disease.

Make a difference is through the Public Health Genetics Interdepartmental Concentration!

With a gift to the University of Michigan School of Public Health you can contribute to the creation of new leaders and knowledge in public health genetics through support of

innovative faculty research
internships
student scholarships

Please check out the website for giving to the School of Public Health and consider improving human wellbeing through a gift to the PHGIC.

Thank You!
