RESEARCH STRENGTHS AND FACILITIES

The Medical Genetics Graduate Program consists of ~45 faculty who use cutting edge genetic, epigenetic, genomic, and bioinformatic methodologies to gain insight into diseases such as cancer, diabetes, obesity, neurodegenerative and neurological disorders, and other genetic diseases. Individual labs conduct clinical and/or translational research, and basic experimental research engaging a wide variety of approaches including the use of model organisms such as mice, flies (D. melanogaster), worms (C. elegans), and yeast (S. cerevisiae).

Research is highly interactive and often involves local, national, and/or international collaborations, further enriching the research experience.  Prospective students with interests in the above investigative areas have an opportunity to pursue world class research in labs affiliated with the Medical Genetics Graduate Program.
