Legacy: A Genetic History of the Jewish People

At a time when many Jews are investigating genetic testing as a tool for family history research, Dr. Harry Ostrer, Professor of Pathology and Genetics at Albert Einstein School of Medicine, will provide the perspective of a scientist who has studied the genetics of Jewish people for 30 years. In 2007, he launched the “Jewish HapMap Project,” a collaboration of Albert Einstein College of Medicine, NYU School of Medicine and Jewish communities to understand the structure of the genomes in Jewish populations.
