Neil lamb, Phd President, Hudsonalpha Institute for Biotechnology
Jim Hudson and the late Lonnie McMillian founded HudsonAlpha Institute for Biotechnology with the goal of uniting scientific research, education, and economic development under one organization dedicated to improving life through genomics. As we celebrated our 15th anniversary this year, I can proudly say that we have risen to our founders’ challenge; HudsonAlpha is changing the world through scientific breakthroughs, inspiring millions of learners through STEM education, and sparking significant economic impact in the state of Alabama. To mark this special occasion, we celebrated with a 15th Anniversary Series of public talks and events that helped connect people with HudsonAlpha’s mission. Celebrating this milestone with members of our community who attended anniversary series events was truly special. Thank you for participating and making this year so memorable. Over the last year, with your support, HudsonAlpha pioneered discoveries that improve human health and well-being. Our scientists made discoveries in pancreatic and ovarian cancer that could impact drug treatment for chemo-resistant cancers, continued to make advances in understanding and diagnosing rare disease, and applied cutting-edge single-cell technology to identify new genes related to Alzheimer’s disease. Our plant genomics program continues to tackle some of our world’s most critical challenges as we work to solve global hunger and protect our planet. Our recently dedicated Terry & Herb Lewis Demonstration Garden allows the public to learn about and interact with the plants that contribute to this research, many of which are growing in the Kathy L. Chan Greenhouse adjacent to the garden. In addition to our research programs, HudsonAlpha continued to have a far-reaching impact across our community, our state, and beyond through our Educational Outreach and Economic Development initiatives. Our educational programs reached over 1.5 million students, teachers, and learners over the last year, and a third-party study recorded that HudsonAlpha had a $4.2 billion economic impact on our state. Because of your outstanding support, HudsonAlpha faces a bright future marked by continued discovery, innovation, and progress. Thank you! Together, we are harnessing the promise of genomics to advance healthcare, foster a cleaner and healthier planet, and improve people’s lives today and tomorrow.

CANCER
Sara Cooper, PhD, Faculty Investigator , and her laboratory are experts at understanding the genetic contributors behind many types of cancer, including breast, ovarian, pancreatic, colorectal, and prostate cancer. Dr. Cooper’s team discovered that overexpression of a gene called ANGPLT4 is closely linked with chemo-resistance and metastasis in pancreatic cancer. Identifying drug treatments that target ANGPTL4 could reverse chemo-resistance and provide a much-needed therapeutic option for cancer patients. Dr. Cooper and her team have also
applied CRISPR technology to test the impact of thousands of genes on chemo- resistance. This study has led to the identification of three new genes that are being explored to identify potential drug targets in ovarian cancer. Dr. Cooper’s ovarian cancer research is supported by Rosie’s Mexican Cantina , Presenting Sponsor for our annual Tie the Ribbons luncheon .
Sara Cooper, PhD Faculty investigator
Using genomic technologies, we can untangle the genetic reasons behind treatment-resistant can- cers using an unbiased approach. Equipped with those discoveries, we can better understand how patients will respond to existing treatments and identify targets for new drugs that could improve response and increase patient survival. — Sara Cooper, PhD HudsonAlpha Faculty Investigator
INFORMATION IS POWER CONTINUES TO GROW HudsonAlpha’s Information is Power initiative is making genetic testing for cancer risk more accessible than ever before. The test checks for mutations in the BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes, as well as other genes, to inform participants of their risk for developing breast, ovarian, colon, prostate, pancreatic, and endometrial cancers. Since launching in 2015, more than 6,400 people have participated in Information is Power. Funding from the Russel Hill Cancer Foundation , the Alabama Power Foundation , the Breast Cancer Research Foundation of Alabama, the Daniel Foundation of Alabama, and the Community Foundation of Greater Huntsville’s Racial Equity Fund has made it possible to expand the program’s local and statewide partnerships, including collaborations with Alabama A&M University, Miles College, Alabama State University, Talladega College and the Rural Health Medical Program.
Information is Power has reframed the way I look at my future. I wish that my grandmother and aunts who passed away from breast cancer had a chance to know their risk and prepare. I didn’t have enough time with them. Information is Power is worth it because of the opportunity you gain to have more time with your loved ones. — Jessica Sanders, Information is Power participant
NEURODEGENERATIVE DISEASES
Over 65 million people worldwide suffer from a neurodegenerative disease like Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, Huntington’s disease, or ALS. As cognitive and physical functions decline, these devastating diseases have a severe impact on patients’ lives. Although there are hundreds of neurodegenerative diseases, there are few treatments and no cures. Rick Myers, PhD, Chief Scientific Officer, and Faculty Investigator, M. A. Loya Chair in Genomics and President Emeritus and Nick Cochran, PhD, Faculty Investigator , are making progress toward under- standing genetic risk factors associated with these diseases, improving diagnostic and disease progression monitoring, and identifying targets for potential new treatments. THE MEMORY & MOBILITY PROGRAM SUSTAINS LIFE-CHANGING RESEARCH Philanthropic support for the Memory and Mobility (M&M) Program powers research on biomarkers that improve diagnosis for ALS and Parkinson’s disease, the identification of previously unknown genetic risk factors, and the discovery of new therapeutic pathways.
IMPORTANT DISCOVERIES IN ALZHEIMER’S DISEASE Researchers in the Myers lab harnessed cutting-edge single-cell technologies to identify regions of the human genome that control protein production in brain cells like neurons and microglia, which are affected by Alzheimer’s disease.
Rick Myers, PhD
The M&M Program , combined with generous support from the ALS Association, has allowed the Myers lab to collaborate with Crestwood Medical Center’s ALS Care Clinic and launch a project to uncover biomarkers linked to ALS. By using cutting-edge technology to analyze samples from ALS patients in Alabama, the team is getting closer to improving early ALS diagnosis. The team identified several genetic regions that may play a role in Alzheimer’s disease initiation and progression. Further research on the newly identified genes could uncover new information that will help illuminate how Alzheimer’s disease progresses. Cochran and his lab continued their work as part of an international research team to analyze the genomes of 340 people from a family in Antioquia, Columbia, known to develop Alzheimer’s disease in their early 40s. The study looks at the genetics behind the age of disease onset. The Cochran lab success- fully identified several new genes that are likely involved, showing that genetics potentially plays a role in determining the age at which patients develop Alzheimer’s disease.
The study of genomics allows us to look at important genetic factors that contribute to diseases of the brain. Because of the M&M Program, we can untangle the complexities hidden in our DNA to improve our ability to identify and treat diseases. I am beyond grateful for the support of the M&M Program and am excited for the discoveries it drives. —Rick Myers, PhD
INFORMING HEALTHCARE THROUGH DNA The Smith Family Clinic for Genomic Medicine is a place where answers are found. From young children battling undiagnosed genetic disorders to adults seeking insights into their genetic risk for neurological or heart disease, the Smith Family Clinic’s medical geneticist and genetic counselors are experts at analyzing information from patients’ DNA to identify genetic variants that could be responsible for disease. For more information about the Smith Family Clinic, visit smithfamilyclinic.org. GENETIC TESTING FOR ALL WHO NEED IT Through HudsonAlpha’s Hero Fund , patients searching for answers at the Smith Family Clinic can access genetic testing and genome sequencing without the financial burden. Genetic testing has become a well-known tool for diagnosing diseases and uncovering patients’ health risks, but insurance rarely covers the entirety of the bill. By the time many patients come to the clinic, they have gone through long and often expensive medical diagnostic journeys. Supported by philanthropy, the Hero Fund allows qualifying Smith Family Clinic patients who experience financial barriers to access genetic testing and counseling free of charge, giving them the answers they deserve.
Genetics is a powerful tool that can tell us things our son or a medical exam wouldn’t be able to tell us. Genetic testing gave us the insight to connect the dots about what our son was facing, and empowered us to know what’s ahead.
— Laura McLester,
a mother whose son received a diagnosis from the Smith Family Clinic
Our goal is for as many people as possible to access genetic testing for a diagnosis. The Hero Fund allows us to give answers to patients who might otherwise not be able to access genetic testing and to provide comprehensive tests that help us find a diagnosis.
MEAGAN COCHRAN, MS, CGC, DIRECTOR OF THE SMITH FAMILY CLINIC FOR GENOMIC MEDICINE
NEURODEVELOPMENTAL DISORDERS
THE UNSOLVABLE
Finding out your child is suffering from a disease that can’t be named is devastating. Roughly 2.8 million children struggle with rare genetic disorders that lead to physical, mental, or behavioral disabilities or delays, and the road to diagnosis can be long and winding. For some families, it can take years before receiving answers that shed light on what their child is going through. Greg Cooper, PhD, Faculty Investigator, and his team are working to improve diagnostics for rare disease, especially those related to childhood genetic disorders. Using data from genome sequencing, Cooper’s lab develops computational tools and algorithms to identify changes in the genome that are related to a child’s symptoms. His lab has sequenced over 1,900 children whose families are in search of a diagnosis.
Because the body of knowledge on genetic information is always growing, Dr. Cooper’s team uses cutting-edge computational technology to reanalyze patients whose genome sequencing did not originally yield results.
Through these reanalyses, Dr. Cooper’s team has discovered diagnostically relevant information in a growing number of patients, equipping them with information that impacts their care plan and empowering them to make more personalized healthcare decisions. A FAR-REACHING CLINICAL IMPACT Cooper’s lab also contributes to a global body of research to uncover the genetic culprits behind neurodevelopmental disorders. Over the last year, the team discovered a previously undiscovered genetic variation contributing to Dravet syndrome and related conditions that cause seizures. This discover by Dr. Stephanie Felker, a member of the Cooper Lab, will benefit the patients whose genomes are sequenced by Cooper’s lab, as well as patients at the Smith Family Clinic for Genomic Medicine and in clinical settings around the world. My lab’s work pairs genomic sequencing technology with computational tools and data sharing to identify new neurodevelop- mental disease-associated genes.The aim is to move clinical genetics forward and eliminate the long diagnostic odysseys that patients with neurodevelopmental diseases often have to go through. Access to personalized genetic information can also help clinicians form more effective treatment plans, and connect families to support groups and others affected by the same condition. GREG Cooper, PhD Faculty investigator
PLANT GENOMICS
By studying plant genomics, HudsonAlpha scientists are unlocking the secrets hidden in plant DNA to find solutions that improve the quality and sustainability of our food, fuel, and fiber production, and safeguard the health of our environment. Changing weather patterns, increasing temperatures, and pests and diseases endanger crops that millions depend on for food and income, causing families worldwide to go hungry. Faculty Investigators Josh Clevenger, PhD, and Alex Harkess, PhD , are using plant genomics to identify genes responsible for desirable traits that can help plants survive in our changing world. Their work is improving economically and agriculturally important crops that help feed our planet.
Our researchers also aim to be stewards of sustainability, using genomics to create more efficient crops to help bring sustainable practices and products to market. By studying grasses like switchgrass and miscanthus, Faculty Investigators Jane Grimwood, PhD, Jeremy Schmutz, and Kankshita Swaminathan, PhD , are developing promising genomic tools for producing bioenergy and bioproducts. Spearheading HudsonAlpha’s Genome Sequencing Center, Grimwood and Schmutz are also growing the scientific community’s understanding of many agriculturally and medicinally important crops.
At HudsonAlpha, we are tackling some of the most serious challenges humanity faces, including improving agricultural sustainability, uncovering how plants help protect the environ- ment, and understanding how to leverage plant genetics to feed the world. Genomics is crucial to solving these problems and making globally significant discoveries. — Jeremy Schmutz, Faculty Investigator and Co-Director of the Genome Sequencing Center

A NEW GARDEN INTRODUCES PLANT GENOMICS TO THE PUBLIC This year marked the dedication of the Terry & Herb Lewis Demonstration Garden , a public teaching garden on the grounds of the Kathy L. Chan Greenhouse. When touring the garden, members of the public can walk among plants that are growing inside the greenhouse and explore HudsonAlpha’s research firsthand. Educational areas throughout the garden describe how our scientists use plant genomics to solve complex global challenges, making the concepts of plant genomics approachable and understandable to campus visitors.
WIREGRASS
Last year, HudsonAlpha expanded its mission of genomic research, economic development, and educational outreach into Alabama’s Wiregrass region through a collaboration between the Institute and the City of Dothan. USING GENOMICS TO IMPROVE A CRUCIAL ALABAMA INDUSTRY Approximately half of the United States peanut crop is grown, harvested, and processed in the Wiregrass region. As our climate becomes more and more unpredictable, increased pests and drought conditions threaten peanut crops in the Wiregrass. Safeguarding this economically significant crop is vital.
Josh Clevenger, PhD
It’s been tremendously rewarding to partner with educators and their students across the Wiregrass to bring the peanut breeding program to life.Through this collaboration, scientists and students are working together to create a better peanut for the Wiregrass region and advance a scientific process that can help feed the world.
—Josh Clevenger, PhD, Faculty Investigator
Led by HudsonAlpha Faculty Investigator Josh Clevenger, PhD , and Kelly East, MS, CGC, Vice President of Educational Outreach , HudsonAlpha Wiregrass launched an innovative peanut breeding program to create improved peanut plants that are less vulnerable to drought and disease. Local farmers have been involved from the beginning and will one day be able to plant these new peanuts in their own fields. INTRODUCING PLANT GENOMICS TO WIREGRASS SCHOOLS HudsonAlpha Wiregrass also provides students and teachers an opportunity to get involved in the peanut breeding program. High school classrooms from across the region participated in growing peanut plants, analyzing their genetic information, and selecting plants for future breeding. The first cohort bred and selected their plants. This academic year marks the beginning of the second cohort, which will build on the work of the previous year. Students are gaining real-world experience with lab and STEM skills that are important for workforce development.
Kelly East, MS, CGC
I thoroughly enjoyed the opportunity to be a part of a real research program that di- rectly feeds into our community. It gave me a glimpse into my future in the bioengineering world, and for that I am very thankful.
— Nora, Dothan 12th grader
EDUCATIONAL OUTREACH
HudsonAlpha’s Educational Outreach programs provided learning opportunities to more than 1.5 million students, educators, healthcare professionals, and members of the public over the 2022-2023 academic year.
MAKING STEM ACCESSIBLE TO STUDENTS From field trips to summer camps, HudsonAlpha’s educational programs provide enriching opportunities for middle and high school students to come to HudsonAlpha’s biotechnology campus and experience STEM hands-on. Because of the generous support of our donors, HudsonAlpha welcomed over 2,300 students for 100 student experiences. HudsonAlpha launched a new STEM Saturdays
program, allowing nonprofit organizations who serve underrepresented youth to bring students to HudsonAlpha’s campus for a weekend day of hands-on learning in our state-of-the-art teaching labs. HudsonAlpha is also launching a new program called Genetic Explorers . This program will be hosted at nonprofit organizations like the Boys & Girls Clubs and will provide activities for students that educate them about STEM.
This career day was an eye-opening experience. It eased my anxiety about my future and made my dreams seem more possible. — Lexi, 12th grade student from Lee High School
HUDSONALPHA’S BIOTECH CAREER DAY In celebration of National DNA Day in April, 11th and 12th grade students from across Madison County came to HudsonAlpha’s campus for DNA in Biotech. Structured like a small professional conference, students from every high school in Madison County heard from a wide range of STEM professionals.
FOSTERING EQUITY IN STEM CAREERS The BRIDGES program brings recent graduates from minority serving institutions to HudsonAlpha for a one-year fellowship in the Institute’s genomics research labs. Additionally, HudsonAlpha collaborates with the Alabama Office of Minority Affairs and Alabama’s Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) to provide opportunities for students to work in laboratories and other professional settings at HudsonAlpha.
Being a part of the HudsonAlpha HBCU Co-Op allowed me to better understand the various scientific careers I could enter into. It also helped me understand that I have what it takes to be in biotechnology.Working at a place like HudsonAlpha isn’t a far-fetched dream anymore — it’s a goal. — Joycelyn Williams, former HudsonAlpha HBCU Co-Op intern, current participant in the National Cancer Institute’s Cancer Research Training Program
