Dr. Eric Green is a genomics researcher, Human Genome Project participant, and former Director of the National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI) at the U.S. National Institutes of Health (NIH). He was the third NHGRI Director, having been appointed by NIH Director Dr. Francis Collins in 2009. He served as NHGRI Director from 2009 to 2025.

Dr. Green was at NHGRI for over 30 years, during which he was appointed to multiple key leadership roles prior to becoming the Director. He served as the Institute’s Scientific Director for 7 years, Chief of the Genome Technology Branch for 13 years, and Founding Director of the NIH Intramural Sequencing Center for 12 years.

For just over two decades, Dr. Green directed an independent research program that included integral start-to-finish roles in the Human Genome Project and groundbreaking work on mapping, sequencing, and characterizing mammalian genomes.

Dr. Green earned his M.D. and Ph.D. degrees in 1987 from Washington University in St. Louis; coincidentally, the word “genomics” was coined in that same year. Throughout his career, he has authored and co-authored over 395 scientific publications. Dr. Green has earned multiple honors and awards, including election to the National Academy of Medicine in 2023.
