The Genetics Society of America is pleased to introduce the 2026 Early Career Leadership Program (ECLP) cohort. This year’s participants represent a dynamic group of early career scientists committed to strengthening the genetics community through leadership, service, and collaboration.

This year’s award recipients bring to the table expertise and leadership that have shaped, and will shape, science for years to come.

M. Neşet Özel, recipient of the 2026 Hugo Bellen and Catherine Tasnier Drosophila Neurogenetics Lecture, has spent nearly 15 years asking a fundamental question: how does the brain wire itself with extraordinary precision, without relying on experience?

We’re excited to welcome a new group of editors to the G3: Genes|Genomes|Genetics and GENETICS editorial teams. We can’t wait to see the incredible insights these new faces will bring to our Journals.

A new bioinformatic GWAS pipeline enables automated, multi-faceted analysis of the
