Good afternoon and welcome. I am Aravinda Chakravarti, and on behalf of the American Society of Human Genetics, I have the great pleasure of introducing to you a friend and collaborator, Dr. David Matthew Altshuler, recipient of the 2011 Curt Stern Award. This award is given annually by the ASHG in recognition of major scientific achievement in human genetics in the last ten years. In honoring David, we recognize his contributions to three major areas: (1) making systematic studies of common human genetic variation possible, (2) defining the genetic contributions to type 2 diabetes and other common disorders, and (3) enabling a model of collaborative team science in human genetics. David Altshuler is currently a professor of genetics and medicine at Harvard Medical School and deputy director and chief academic officer at the Broad Institute.
