Dr. Richard M. Myers is the President, Science Director, and a Faculty Investigator at HudsonAlpha Institute for Biotechnology. In addition, Rick is an adjunct faculty member in the Department of Genetics at the University of Alabama at Birmingham. At work, Rick balances being a scientist, running his research lab, and managing administrative responsibilities as head of a research institute. His research focuses on genetics and genomics. In particular, Rick aims to better understand how our genes and their expression contribute to our traits, health, and disease. He also examines how genes and gene expression can be regulated. Outside of science, Rick enjoys spending time with his family, including his two adult children. One currently lives in Seattle and the other lives in London. In addition, Rick's hobbies include cooking, gardening, and woodworking. He received is B.S. in biochemistry from the University of Alabama and his Ph.D. in biochemistry from the University of California, Berkeley. Afterwards, Rick conducted postdoctoral research at Harvard University. He served on the faculty at the University of California, San Francisco as well as at Stanford University where he contributed substantially to the efforts to sequence the human genome as part of the Human Genome Project. Rick accepted his current position at HudsonAlpha in 2008. He has received many awards and honors throughout his career including an Honorary Doctorate Degree from the University of Alabama, the Blount Initiative Award from the University of Alabama, the Pritzker Foundation Award from the University of Michigan, and the Darden Lecture Award from the University of Alabama. He has also been named a Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science. In this interview, Rick discusses his experiences in life and science.

Neil Lamb, President of the HudsonAlpha Institute for Biotechnology, discusses his journey to HudsonAlpha and the growth and impact of the institute. The conversation explores the vision of HudsonAlpha and its role in the growth of Huntsville, Alabama.

In the United States, shortly after birth, every newborn receives a series of screening tests to identify treatable diseases. Every September we celebrate this amazing system of research, public health, and clinical care that saves the lives of babies every day with Newborn Screening Awareness month.  Neonatal screening also occurs around the world and many countries are working on innovative approaches to use genomics to significantly expand, or improve, our ability to screen, diagnose, and treat hundreds if not thousands of additional diseases. We are excited to feature one of these innovators on the Newborn Screening Spotlight, Dr. David Bick who, is the Principal Clinician for the Newborn Genomes Programme at Genomics England.  Genomics England is undertaking an effort to include genomics in neonatal screening.   Prior to his work in England, he was the Chief Medical Officer and a faculty investigator at the HudsonAlpha Institute for Biotechnology.  He came to HudsonAlpha from the Medical College of Wisconsin where he was Professor in the Department of Pediatrics and the Department of Obstetrics & Gynecology at the Medical College of Wisconsin.  At the Medical College of Wisconsin he was the Director of the Clinical Sequencing Laboratory, Director of the Advanced Genomics Laboratory at Children's Hospital of Wisconsin, Medical Director of the Genetics Clinic at Children's Hospital of Wisconsin, and Chief of the Division of Genetics in the Department of Pediatrics at Medical College of Wisconsin.    Dr. Bick received his medical degree from George Washington University School of Medicine in 1981 and completed his residency in Pediatrics at Yale-New Haven Hospital in New Haven, CT.  At the Yale University School of Medicine, Dr. Bick completed a fellowship in Human Genetics and Pediatrics in 1986, followed by a post-doctoral research fellowship in Human Genetics in 1987.  Dr. Bick is board certified in Pediatrics, Clinical Genetics, and Clinical Molecular Genetics.   He is a leader in the field of genomic medicine and has published numerous peer-reviewed articles, chapters, and reviews.  Dr. Bick's laboratories at the Medical College of Wisconsin and Children's Hospital of Wisconsin were the first in the world to offer whole genome sequencing as a clinical test.  He also developed the first Genomic Medicine Clinic in the United States. Join us as we learn about the role of genomic sequencing of newborns.   Podcast Interview Questions for Dr. David Bick   Bick, thank you for joining us for the newborn screening SPOTlight podcast, we would love for our listeners to get know you and the impact you've made on clinical genomic medicine, newborn screening research. You're a pediatrician, researcher, and leader in genomic medicine. How did you get involve with newborn screening research?   You were a faculty in the Department of Pediatrics and the Department of Obstetrics & Gynecology at the Medical College of Wisconsin, where your laboratory was the first to offer whole genome sequencing as a clinical test. What advice can you share for others who are interested in proposing the implementation of genome sequencing in their hospitals?   You have now moved to the UK to be the Principal Clinician for the Newborn Genomes Programme at Genomics England. Can you tell our listeners more about this program?   From your experiences at the Screen4Care consortium and the European collaborative Innovative Medicines Initiative, what are lessons that we in the US can learn from?   In your recent publication titled “Newborn Screening by Genomic Sequencing: Opportunities and Challenges,” you describe the need for “standardization of data formats and analytical approaches within and even between health systems” to support newborn screening by genome sequencing. There are differences between the UK and US health care delivery system. How do you envision this process of standardization in the UK? How can the US with its various health care delivery systems and health insurance plans be able to adopt a similar approach?   Are you involved in training the next generation of pediatrician nd what do you tell them about newborn screening research?   What role could NBSTRN play to support international efforts in advancing rare disease research and screening for diseases for which early intervention may improve outcome?   What does NBS research mean to you?

“We want to help families with rare conditions which are treatable and families with less rare conditions which are treatable. I think this equity is an important principle in terms of how we take care of children in the UK.”  In this week's episode of The G Word, Vivienne Parry is joined by David Bick, Clinical Advisor for the Newborn Genomes Programme and former Faculty Investigator and Chief Medical Officer at HudsonAlpha.   He discusses his experience with newborn sequencing, why whole genomes rather than exomes is the way forward and setting up a newborn programme. He also talks about what led him to genomics and the reasons he came to the UK.

Why have diagnostic tests for the Coronavirus been slow on the scene? What have been the challenges for lab directors? Were they scientific? Were they regulatory? Were they scaling challenges? Are they still scaling challenges? Supply chain problems? Elaine Lyon worked for many years at the molecular genetics lab at ARUP at the University of Utah and is now the Clinical Services Lab Director at Hudson Alpha. In both of these jobs she has designed and overseen the design of many diagnostic tests.
