JScreen Program

JScreen is a national community-based public health initiative dedicated to preventing Jewish and other genetic diseases. JScreen was launched from Emory University School of Medicine’s Department of Human Genetics in 2013. 

As of October 1, 2024, the JScreen program has transitioned to an independent nonprofit corporation that is separate from Emory University. While JScreen will continue to collaborate with Emory, JScreen is embarking on a renewed effort to scale its impact nationally.
