DESCRIPTION:Human genetics has become an increasingly popular means of ide
 ntifying modifiable therapeutic targets for disease. For the last 16 month
 s\, I have been working at a start-up that partners with biotech\, venture
  capital and pharma companies to interrogate their drug candidates and ide
 ntify new ones using human genetic and multi-omic data. This experience ha
 s sharpened my perspective on the value of human genetics in this space. I
  will share some projects from the last year that I believe highlight the 
 scientific (and\, in some cases\, very human) challenges and potential of 
 genetics-based drug discovery. Any client confidential information will be
  withheld to ensure compliance with all relevant CDAs.
