Mapping the Future of Human Genetics
We're evolving the field through research in Genome Structure and Function, Population Genetics and more.
One of the most remarkable aspects of our scientific community is the diversity of research topics we explore. To tackle questions across varied topics, we balance the use of classical approaches with new, cutting-edge experimental and computational techniques. We also leverage a host of model systems including yeast, zebrafish, mouse, dogs, and human populations.
Unifying our diverse research, and centering our scientific community, is a shared drive to understand how genomes function, how they change over time and across environments, and how perturbations in genome sequences cause single-gene and complex diseases.
