All of Us leaders, partners, and researchers will share program updates and study findings at the American Society of Human Genetics 2022 Annual Meeting.
Since launching the Researcher Workbench in beta in May 2020, All of Us has made significant progress in engaging talented scientists with a wide range of experiences and expertise. As of September 2022, more than 3,000 researchers have registered to use the dataset – one of the largest, most diverse resources of its kind.
In March 2022, the program released its initial genomic data, including whole genome sequencing for nearly 100,000 participants – nearly 50% of whom identify with a racial or ethnic group that has historically been underrepresented in research.
The platform currently supports more than 2,600 active research projects. Some of this research will be highlighted at the American Society of Human Genetics 2022 Annual Meeting, to be held October 25-29, 2022, in Los Angeles.

Those attending the conference in person are encouraged to stop by exhibit booth #954. There, attendees will have an opportunity to meet with program staff and leaders to get a better understanding of the Researcher Workbench data and registration process.
