The Section of Genetic Medicine was created in May 2005 to both build research infrastructure in genetics within the Department of Medicine and to focus translational efforts related to genetics. As a result, the Section of Genetic is shaping the future of precision medicine with very active and successful research programs focused on the quantitative genetics, systems biology and genomics, and bioinformatics and computational biology. The Section provides extremely valuable collaborations with investigators in the Department of Medicine who are seeking to develop new and more powerful ways to identify genetic risk factors for common, complex disorders with almost immediate clinical application.
The Section of Genetic Medicine has a reputation for leading-edge research. In FY 14 the Section was awarded a large grant from the National Cancer Institute to build an Open Genomics Data Commons (OGDC)under the direction of Dr. Robert Grossman and is also home to the NIH funded Silvio O. Conte Center, led by Andrey Rzhetsky, PhD, where computational data-mining has been applied to understand the causes of neuropsychiatric disorders. We invite you to explore our website for more information about the Section.
