Ten UNMC<\/p>\n<p>specialists in the area of genetics will discuss a variety of issues.<\/p>\n<p><P>The series is free to the public, including parking, programs and speakers<\/p>\n<p>handouts. Diplomas will be presented on the last night of the series. The<\/p>\n<p>series will be available in Omaha, and through live satellite broadcast<\/p>\n<p>at Distance Learning Centers in Lincoln, Norfolk, Grand Island, Kearney,<\/p>\n<p>North Platte and Scottsbluff.<\/p>\n<p><P>The UNMC Mini-Medical School series will include information about the<\/p>\n<p>importance of studying genetics, UNMCs role in research and treatment<\/p>\n<p>in genetics, behind-the-scenes work by UNMC researchers, the promise of<\/p>\n<p>the study of genetics and a discussion on the ethical, legal and social<\/p>\n<p>effect of genetic information.<\/p>\n<p><P>Genetic testing, counseling, and possible disease prevention is the<\/p>\n<p>future of health care for the new millennium, said Bruce Buehler, M.D.,<\/p>\n<p>director of the Munroe-Meyer Institute for Genetics and Rehabilitation<\/p>\n<p>at UNMC. As we better understand the genetics of the disease process,<\/p>\n<p>the potential for longer, healthier lives seems unlimited. As we learn<\/p>\n<p>more about our genetic blueprint, we find that susceptibility to disease<\/p>\n<p>is carried in our DNA and how we can begin to prevent many problems like<\/p>\n<p>cancer, diabetes, spina bifida and heart disease.<\/p>\n<p><P>Recently, the University of Nebraska Board of Regents approved the establishment<\/p>\n<p>of the Center for Human Molecular Genetics, which will play a key role<\/p>\n<p>in allowing UNMC to become a world-class medical center, said Harold M.<\/p>\n<p>Maurer, M.D., UNMC chancellor. The center is going to be the driving force<\/p>\n<p>in moving us forward to reach our goal of doubling our research funding<\/p>\n<p>in the next five years.<\/p>\n<p><P>&nbsp;The lineup of topics that will be covered include:<\/p>\n<p><P><B>Wednesday, Sept. 29, A Genetic Primer: Looking at Your Genes and<\/p>\n<p>What Surrounds Them<\/B><\/p>\n<p><BR>Topic content includes what are genes, environment and prevention of<\/p>\n<p>disease, by Dr. Buehler; and how the unraveling of the DNA code translates<\/p>\n<p>into practical medical tools, by G.
