2012 10 April Hans Lehrach interview
Description
Hans Lehrach, telephone interview by Kathryn Maxson, conducted from Durham, NC, 10
April 2012. Hans Lehrach conducted postdoctoral research at Harvard University before
taking positions at the European Molecular Biology Laboratory (EMBL) in Heidelberg
(1978-1987), the Imperial Cancer Research Fund (ICRF) in London (1987-1994), and finally
the Max Planck Institute for Molecular Genetics (MPI-MG) in Berlin (1994-present),
the last of which he has directed since 1994. One of the three sequencing centers
of the German Human Genome Sequencing Consortium, part of the German Human Genome
Project (DHGP), was located at the MPI-MG. Lehrach thus played a key role in liaising
with the German Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) when the Bermuda Principles
were proposed as policies for all of the HGP sequencing centers. This transcript is
available beginning 9 July 2018. Keywords: Human Genome Project, HGP, interview, Bermuda
