Geneticist-Educator Network of Alliances (GENA)

The aim of the GENA Project is to explore ways how a professional society can play a positive role in the career development of both junior (pre-tenure) and senior (post-tenure) level genetics faculty. A network of geneticist-educator alliances is developed to design teaching strategies related to standards and misconceptions in genetics.
