Robert C. Green is an American physician and scientist. He is currently a faculty member in the Division of Genetics and Department of Medicine at Brigham and Women's Hospital and Harvard Medical School, Associate Director for Research in the Partners Center for Personalized Genetic Medicine (PCPGM), and founding Director of the Genomes to People (G2P) research program. He is Principal Investigator of the REVEAL (Risk Evaluation and Education for Alzheimer's Disease) study and The MedSeq Project, and co-Principal Investigator, with Scott Roberts, of the Impact of Personal Genomics (PGen) study.

Dr. Green has been continuously funded by NIH for 21 years and has published over 300 articles. During that time, his research interests evolved from a focus on clinical trials and genetic epidemiology to a focus on translational genomics and health outcomes. His research has led to key revelations in understanding Alzheimer's disease, including development of risk estimates based on family history and genetic markers[1,2] and leadership of multi-center treatment and prevention trials [3,4,5]; and in the integration of personal genomics into clinical practice, including planning the first large-scale randomized clinical trials in translational genetics[6,7,8].

He is a regular member of the National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI) study section on Ethical, Legal and Social Issues (ELSI) and Human Genetics and a Board Member of the Council for Responsible Genetics.

Dr. Green graduated from Amherst College and the University of Virginia School of Medicine before fulfilling a residency in neurology at Harvard Medical School’s Longwood Neurology Program and completing research fellowships at Beth Israel Hospital and Children’s Hospital in Boston. Before his current post, Dr. Green was on the faculty of the Emory University School of Medicine (1988-1996) and obtained an MPH (epidemiology) at Emory University. From 1999-2011, Dr. Green was on the faculty of Boston University School of Medicine, most recently as Professor of Neurology, Medicine (Genetics) and Epidemiology.
