A Multidisciplinary Team Approach
The Program in Personalized and Genomic Medicine is an inter-departmental program that emphasizes a multidisciplinary team approach to research training and discovery. Faculty have expertise across a wide range of disciplines, including:
- Clinical investigation
- Molecular genetics
- Cytogenetics
- Cancer genetics
- Biochemical genetics
- Functional genomics
- Molecular and cell biology
- Genetic epidemiology
- Statistical genetics
- Bioinformatics
The program offers opportunities for students at all stages, including undergraduate, graduate, and post-graduate. The graduate program grants both Master’s and doctoral-level degrees. Graduate training for students interested in genetics and genomics is supported by the Graduate Program in Life Sciences (GPILS), including the Program in Epidemiology & Human Genetics and the Program in Molecular Medicine.
In addition, there is the American Board of Genetic Counseling (ABGC) nationally accredited Master's in Genetic Counseling training program. Positions are also available for post-doctoral fellows in genetics/genomics, as well as MD fellows.
