| The Department of Human Genetics was founded in 2001 as part of the Emory University School of Medicine through the restructuring of the existing Department of Genetics and the incorporation of the entire Division of Medical Genetics from the Department of Pediatrics. Today, the DOHG has 35 full-time faculty members, including 12 who are American Board of Medical Genetics certified. The majority of the research in the Department focuses directly on human disease and has major strengths in neurogenetics, metabolic disease, and translational research. The DOHG has a vibrant clinical program. The Department has responsibility for all pediatric and adult out-patient and in-patient consultation and management of genetic disease in metro Atlanta. Within the Department are three large clinical laboratories providing cytogenetic, biochemical and molecular diagnostics. The unique combination of a fully-fledged basic research faculty along with the comprehensive clinical genetics division, places the Department of Human Genetics at the forefront of contemporary translational research and training. | |
