Yale Genetics
Our DepartmentWho we areOur Department is a large, interdisciplinary group of faculty performing basic laboratory research and clinical research, and providing clinical care. Several laboratories are actively engaged in human genetics, cloning genes linked with disease, developing DNA probes and other diagnostic techniques, or studying the epidemiology of inherited disorders. Other laboratories are applying molecular genetic techniques to model organisms to study basic biological processes. The Department has a graduate program leading to a Ph.D. in the areas of genetics, development and molecular biology. Admission to the Graduate Program is through the Combined Programs in Biological and Biomedical Sciences (BBS). The department also sponsors a Medical Genetics & Genetics Residency program leading to certification by the American Board of Medical Genetics. Admission to the Genetics residency is directly through the department. Finally, the department provides clinical genetics services that include inpatient, outpatient, and prenatal clinics, along with cytogenetic, DNA, and biochemical diagnostic laboratories.
