Leading the Way in Genetics and Genetic Counseling
Our faculty and students are pursuing some of the most challenging genetic questions facing medicine today. Projects here are propelling knowledge of autism, birth defects, cancer, and so much more. We are helping physicians and patients better understand genetic risk factors and how to personalize care.
Your gift can play a vital role in accelerating progress, supporting:
- New research projects on complex diseases
- The application of new technology and big data tools to genetics questions
- Scholarships and training opportunities for genetic scientists and counselors
Our Department of Human Genetics was established in 1956 and is recognized as the first dedicated human genetics department in the United States. Help us continue to build on these pioneering roots and remain at the forefront of the field, transforming medicine for the benefit of all.
