On September 13, I was delighted to welcome Senator Jack Reed to the NIH campus. His tour included a visit to the NIH Clinical Center, where he heard about recent findings in RNA sequencing from experts from the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences and the National Human Genome Research Institute. We then joined several senior leaders and scientists from the National Cancer Institute to discuss advances in childhood cancer research, and to visit a pediatric oncology lab and meet with a patient who received treatment there. He also met with leaders of NIH’s Fogarty International Center. Later in the day, I welcomed a group of new Congressional Staff from the House Democratic Caucus. They, too, got a chance to visit NIH labs and talk to researchers. We then had a roundtable discussion where I introduced myself and my background, talked about current trends in health, and answered questions about the work we do here and my vision and priorities for NIH. I’d like to thank Sen. Reed and Congressional Staff for coming to NIH and joining in such informative conversations.
