She is perhaps best known for three major accomplishments: identifying the BRCA1 gene for its role in breast cancer, demonstrating that humans and chimpanzees are 99% genetically identical, and applying genomic sequencing to identify victims of human rights abuses. King has been the recipient of the Dr. A.H. Heineken Prize for Science, and the Weizmann Women and Science Award, among many others. Join us for a discussion with this remarkable woman, facilitated by Stanford Law Professor Hank Greely.
