Dr. Francis Collins has dedicated his career to mapping and identifying genes that cause human diseases including cystic fibrosis and Huntington's disease. For 15 years, he served as Director of the National Center for Human Genome research, one of the largest undertakings in the history of science. Under his leadership, this effort charted the entire human genome, and is on its way to unlocking all of the mysteries of human heredity. In 2009 Dr. Collins was sworn in as the 16th Director of the National Institutes of Health. Dr. Anthony Fauci is best known for his pioneering discoveries in the understanding and treatment of HIV-AIDS. He is also the administrator of a multi-billion-dollar government agency that oversees our nation's efforts to combat AIDS, tuberculosis, malaria and pandemic flu, and maintains our medical defense against acts of bioterrorism as the Director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases. In this podcast, recorded at the 2010 International Achievement Summit in Washington, D.C., they share a lively discussion of the federal government's role in medical research. Both men stress the need for transparency in medical research, which they weigh against the privacy concerns that arise from the collection of genetic and medical data.
