UNC Research Core Facilities are shared services that enhance and expand the collaborative capabilities of Carolina’s research enterprise.
We advance fundamental, translational, and clinical research in genetics and genomics through innovation, education, and collaboration.
Our graduate programs train students to be creative, sophisticated research scientists prepared to pursue careers focused in genetics and genomics working in academic science, government, or commercial positions. Students conduct their dissertation research using diverse experimental approaches – from classical genetics to the most modern molecular methods – to address a broad range of contemporary problems in biomedical science.
The Department also includes a clinical arm focused on medical genetics, which covers the broad spectrum of clinical genetic research from disease prevention to diagnosis and treatment. This specialty includes evaluation, mutation discovery, counseling and risk assessment through analysis and genetic testing. Locating the clinical group alongside basic scientists facilitates integration of cutting edge genetic research with patient care.
The UNC Department Genetics is proud to announce the formation of the Bryson Program for Judicial Science Education!
