Genetics, Epigenetics and Genomics
The research of current faculty covers a broad range of areas, including genomics, population and statistical genetics, genomic instability, the genetic epidemiology of common diseases, complex trait analysis, disease gene identification, gene therapy, developmental genetics, and cancer genetics.
Moreover, our program is devoted to the investigation of fundamental mechanisms in gene regulation in a wide range of organisms, ranging from single-celled slime molds to fish and mammals including humans.
Graduate students have the opportunity to carry out interdisciplinary genetics research in these diverse areas.
