IGS Research Spans from Basic Science to Precision Medicine

Our research ranges from basic evolutionary science and computational biology to human health across the lifespan. Our work spans scientific disciplines, advancing genomics to gain knowledge of the molecular foundation of human health and biology. We advance cutting-edge genomics, multiomics, and spatial molecular technologies to better understand health, discover ways to prevent disease, and to develop new treatments.

Specific research areas include cancer and precision medicine; parasitic, fungal, and bacterial diseases; sexual and reproductive health; the underpinnings of aging; and neuroscience areas including brain development, addiction, and mental health.

In addition, our researchers combine pioneering computational and systems biology approaches with high-throughput sequencing to empower discovery.
