. Paul Liu, M.D., Ph.D. has been named NHGRI's Deputy Scientific Director. Dr. Liu, a tenured senior investigator, joined the National Institutes of Health (NIH) in 1993 as one of NHGRI's first intramural scientists when it was still an NIH center. A world expert in the onset, development and progression of leukemia, Dr. Liu leads the Oncogenesis and Development Section within NHGRI's Genetics and Molecular Biology Branch. -

NHGRI announces two key leadership appointments: Mark S. Guyer, Ph.D., has been named NHGRI Deputy Director; James C. Mullikin has been selected to be permanent Director of the NIH Intramural Sequencing Center (NISC). -
Happy b-day
To celebrate the 10th anniversary of researchers producing the first complete human genome sequence, NHGRI collaborates with the the Smithsonian's National Museum of Natural History (NMNH) in Washington, D.C., to open a high-tech, high-intensity exhibition in 2013. The exhibition also commemorates the 60th anniversary of Drs. James D. Watson and Francis Crick's discovery of DNA's double helix in 1953 - a revolutionary discovery that laid the foundation for understanding how DNA encodes and copie -

NHGRI announces a major reorganization to accommodate broad changes in its mission at the 66th National Advisory Council for Human Genome Research (NACHGR). The reorganization includes dividing the institute's Extramural Research Program into four new divisions and promoting to division status the office overseeing policy, communications, and education, and the office overseeing administration and management. Approved by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services on June 26, the reorganiza
