The program will consist of two panels. The first will offer an inside look at the National Institutes of Health and the Clinton administration’s efforts to invest in medical research, enhance health, lengthen life, and reduce illness and disability that have yielded lasting impacts on science and medicine, including in the fight against COVID-19.

The panel will be moderated by Dr. Donna E. Shalala and is expected to include Dr. Anthony S. Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases at the NIH, Dr. John I. Gallin , NIH associate director for clinical research and inaugural chief scientific officer of the NIH Clinical Center, Dr. Gary Nabel , president and chief executive officer of ModeX Therapeutics, and Dr. Harold Varmus, the Lewis Thomas University Professor of Medicine at Meyer Cancer Center of Weill Cornell Medicine.

The second panel will focus on the Human Genome Project, the world’s largest collaborative project in biology that led to the sequencing of the human genome. From inception to completion in 13 years, it produced what President Clinton called, "the most important, most wondrous map ever produced by humankind,” and continues to facilitate significant biomedical advancements.

The panel will be moderated by Dr. Harold Varmus, the Lewis Thomas University Professor of Medicine at Meyer Cancer Center of Weill Cornell Medicine, and is expected to include Dr. Wendy Chung, director of clinical genetics at Columbia University, Dr. Francis Collins, acting science advisor to President Joe Biden, and Dr. Charles Rotimi, director of the Trans-NIH Center for Research on Genomics and Global Health.

The Frank & Kula Kumpuris Distinguished Lecture Series is presented by the Clinton Foundation, Clinton School of Public Service, and AT&T.
