Prof Richard Gibbs
Director, Baylor College of Medicine Human Genome Sequencing Centre
Wofford Cain Professor of Human & Molecular Genetics
“Precision Medical Research”
Monday 30 May 2016 12PM, AUDITORIUM
Host: Prof John Mattick
Richard Gibbs was born in Australia and graduated from Melbourne University and the Peter MaCallum Cancer Institute in 1986 in Genetics and Radiation Biology.  He moved 
to the USA to Baylor College of Medicine, where he performed key work on the molecular characterization of human genetic disease and provided an early leadership role for 
the Human Genome Project.  In 1997 he founded the BCM Human Genome Sequencing Center – the HGSC – that was one of five main groups to complete the HGP. The HGSC 
then completed the genomes of many model species and provided leadership for other international projects, including the Mammalian Gene Collection, the Hapmap Project, 
the 1000 Genomes Project and the Cancer Genome Atlas. The HGSC has also been a technology leader, including developing the DNA exome capture technologies now used 
ubiquitously. 
 
The HGSC continues to work on large scale comparative genomics and development of genome technologies. Beginning in 2007 the group developed the field of personal 
human genomics, beginning with personal genome sequences of James Watson and James Lupski and culminating with creation of the first Genetics Diagnostics Laboratory to 
be based on whole gene sequencing. He now leads the HGSC efforts in large scale clinical translation. 
 
Gibbs has served on many NIH Advisory Councils and was elected to the National Academy of Medicine in 2011, named an Honorary Fellow of the Royal College of Pathologists 
of Australasia in 2011 and recognized as one of the 400 most influential biomedical scientists in the world in 2013 (Eur J. Clin. Invest. 2014).  He is currently the Wofford Cain 
Distinguished Professor of Molecular and Human Genetics and Director of the HGSC.

Leaders in Science and Society - Prof Richard Gibbs

  • 1. Garvan Institute of Medical Research Leaders in Science & Society Prof Richard Gibbs Director, Baylor College of Medicine Human Genome Sequencing Centre Wofford Cain Professor of Human & Molecular Genetics “Precision Medical Research” Monday 30 May 2016 12PM, AUDITORIUM Host: Prof John Mattick Richard Gibbs was born in Australia and graduated from Melbourne University and the Peter MaCallum Cancer Institute in 1986 in Genetics and Radiation Biology.  He moved  to the USA to Baylor College of Medicine, where he performed key work on the molecular characterization of human genetic disease and provided an early leadership role for  the Human Genome Project.  In 1997 he founded the BCM Human Genome Sequencing Center – the HGSC – that was one of five main groups to complete the HGP. The HGSC  then completed the genomes of many model species and provided leadership for other international projects, including the Mammalian Gene Collection, the Hapmap Project,  the 1000 Genomes Project and the Cancer Genome Atlas. The HGSC has also been a technology leader, including developing the DNA exome capture technologies now used  ubiquitously.    The HGSC continues to work on large scale comparative genomics and development of genome technologies. Beginning in 2007 the group developed the field of personal  human genomics, beginning with personal genome sequences of James Watson and James Lupski and culminating with creation of the first Genetics Diagnostics Laboratory to  be based on whole gene sequencing. He now leads the HGSC efforts in large scale clinical translation.    Gibbs has served on many NIH Advisory Councils and was elected to the National Academy of Medicine in 2011, named an Honorary Fellow of the Royal College of Pathologists  of Australasia in 2011 and recognized as one of the 400 most influential biomedical scientists in the world in 2013 (Eur J. Clin. Invest. 2014).  He is currently the Wofford Cain  Distinguished Professor of Molecular and Human Genetics and Director of the HGSC.
