Why Is Georgia M. Dunston Influential?
(Suggest an Edit or Addition)According to Wikipedia, Georgia Mae Dunston is an American geneticist who is professor of human immunogenetics at Howard University and founding director of the National Human Genome Center at Howard University. Early life and education Georgia Mae Dunston was born in Norfolk, Virginia, to a hard working African-American family. Her parents did not attend college but instead worked various commercial jobs. Ulysses, her father, was employed as a cook at a commercial barbecue wholesaler and Rosa, her mother, worked as a cleaner, presser, and dishwasher. While growing up Dunston attended the local Baptist church and Sunday school.
