On Thursday, June 24, 2010, the The Junior Council of the American Museum of Natural History (AMNH) concluded its 2009-2010 season with a panel discussion and cocktail reception. Lisa and Paul Canty, Christy Corgan, Sarah J. Crews, Doug and Eva Heyman, Dana Wallach Jones and Michael T. M. Jones, Zachary and Lori Pomerantz and Andrew and Zibby Right were event co-chairs.
In 2001, the Museum created the Sackler Institute for Comparative Genomics and has been developing a comprehensive program of genomics research. Along with maintaining one of the largest non-human frozen tissue collections in the world, Museum scientists have been conducting research on the medicinal properties of leeches and on the spread of infectious diseases such as avian flu, SARS, and malaria. The evening’s panelists, which included Director of the Sackler Institute George Amato, Curators Rob DeSalle and Mark Siddall, and Sackler Institute researcher Sergios Kolokotronis, discussed current Museum research and its implications for human health.
Following the panel, guests enjoyed cocktails and live jazz outside on the Arthur Ross Terrace.
