Scientific Keynote Speaker

Wednesday, November 19

Best known for his leadership of the Human Genome Project, Dr. Collins guided one of the most ambitious scientific efforts in history to successful completion—decoding the human genetic blueprint and making it available to researchers worldwide. During his 12-year tenure as Director of the National Institutes of Health, he oversaw the country’s biomedical response to public health crises, championed precision medicine, and led transformative initiatives in cancer, neuroscience, rare diseases, and COVID-19. Dr. Collins’ legacy extends beyond science. His pioneering research and his passion for public service and ethical dialogue continue to shape the future of healthcare, and of science itself.
