Support our vision for the future!
pgEd is moving quickly to expand our programs so everyone is aware of the relevance of genetic information to their daily lives. Awareness is the first step, so people can speak up, ask questions of their healthcare provider, make informed decisions for themselves and their families, and come together to act in the best interest of their communities and society as a whole.
To learn more about our work and how you can support the specific projects we are launching, please contact Dr. Marnie Gelbart or Dr. Ting Wu for more information.
