Research Narrative:

Robert C. Green, MD, MPH is Associate Professor of Medicine in the Division of Genetics at Brigham and Women’s Hospital and Harvard Medical School and Associate Director for Research at the Partners HealthCare Center for Personalized Genetic Medicine. His research interests have evolved from a focus on clinical trials and genetic epidemiology to a focus on translational genomics and health outcomes. He has been continuously funded by NIH for 21 years and has published over 300 articles. Key contributions have included the development of risk estimates based on family history and genetic markers, leadership and analysis of large multi-center treatment and prevention trials, including trials enriched through family history, and design, leadership and future planning of the first large-scale randomized clinical trials in translational genetics. He serves on a number of advisory, editorial and grant review boards and is a regular member of the National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI) study section on Ethical, Legal and Social Issues (ELSI) and Human Genetics. He has been invited to participate in National Institutes of Health (NIH) planning workshops on the future of genomic medicine, and has been a featured or plenary speaker on translational genomics and personalized medicine at meetings of the World Science Festival, the National Coalition for Health Professional Education in Genetics, the American Academy of Neurology, the Consumer Genetics Conference, the World Congress of Psychiatric Genetics, the American Society of Human Genetics, the National Press Club and the Bio IT World Conference. He is a Board Member of the Council for Responsible Genetics and was a plenary speaker on the topic of “Translational Genomics” at the Presidential Symposium of the 2011 American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics.

Dr. Green graduated from Amherst College and the University of Virginia School of Medicine before fulfilling a residency in neurology at Harvard Medical School's Longwood Neurology Program. Following this, he completed research fellowships at the Beth Israel Hospital and Children's Hospital in Boston, winning both the William B. Lennox Research Fellowship and the Wilder Penfield Research Fellowship. Dr. Green obtained additional training in Epidemiology, receiving a Masters in Public Health from the Rollins School of Public Health at Emory University. In 1999, Dr. Green joined the faculty of Boston University where he was Professor of Neurology, Genetics and Epidemiology in the Schools of Medicine and Public Health. He was recruited to BWH and HMS after completing a fellowship in genetics at Harvard Medical School and becoming board-certified in medical genetics in 2011.
