Take Action
It starts July 25 – Genetic Testing Action Day
Genetic Testing Action Day is an annual day of awareness dedicated to empowering individuals to access genetic testing and unlock understanding, community, and a way forward. It’s observed on July 25th – Rosalind Franklin’s birthday, whose work was fundamental to the discovery of DNA’s structure.
Why July 25 for Genetic Testing Action Day?
Genetic Testing Action Day is observed each year on July 25—the birthday of Rosalind Franklin, PhD, (1920-1958). A scientist at King’s College London in 1952, Dr. Franklin’s groundbreaking contributions, including “Photograph 51,” forever changed our understanding of DNA and laid the foundation for the incredible advances in genomics and medicine we see today.
