A better future for health for: All of Us!
Dr. Josh Denny is the All of Us Research program, CEO. A program that comes from the National Institute of Health. The Bonnell Foundation is all about Science and Innovation! And he has a CF connect via his father!
The goal of All of Us is to enroll 1 million people to build one of the most diverse health databases in history. This would allow resources to accelerate precision medicine for all populations. This is critical to the future of our planet and population in my opinion…but it’s clearly why they called the program: All of Us. To succeed and to properly represent our population…science needs All of Us. Josh is an amazing human, and I am honored to feature him in this podcast.
Dr. Denny has been involved since the program’s inception. He was a member of the NIH Precision Medicine Initiative Working Group of the Advisory Committee to the Director, which developed the program’s initial scientific blueprint. He then led the program’s initial prototyping project and the All of Us Data and Research Center. Josh was named CEO of All of Us in January 2020. Before joining NIH, Dr. Denny was a practicing physician and held several leadership positions at Vanderbilt University Medical Center. At Vanderbilt, he led discovery and implementation projects in precision medicine, including clinical pharma-co-genomics and Vanderbilt’s DNA biobank. Dr. Denny was a pioneer in the use of electronic health records for genomics studies, including the initial descriptions of phenome‐wide association studies and phenotype risk scores.

As I state in the podcast, I joined All Of Us, and gave over my genetic material and answers to medical questions.
