Emory Genetics and Molecular Biology Program

m derives its faculty from ten different departments including those from the departments of Human Genetics, Biology, Biochemistry, Cell Biology, Microbiology & Immunology, Pathology & Laboratory Medicine, Pharmacology, and the Winship Cancer Institute. A wide range of research opportunities in bacterial, viral, human and eukaryotic model system genetics enable students to specialize in their area of interest while obtaining an essential foundation in genetics. Areas of emphasis listed below are supported by state-of-the-art research facilities. Research programs of the faculty fall into six major areas:

Epigenetic Regulation of Gene Expression
Development and Differentiation
Cancer Genetics and Biology
Human and Medical Genetics
Bioinformatics and Comparative Genomics
Control of Genome Integrity
