Human Genetics Center
Discovering how molecular variation impacts the health of individuals, families, and populations to improve public health and clinical care outcomes.
Our Research
Center faculty are actively involved in research ranging from scanning the human genome for diabetes to establishing the evolutionary dynamics of genetic variation in disease genes. The center is also involved in the assessment of the forensic utility of DNA testing and the establishment of a national DNA testing database for use in research.
In addition to national and international efforts, the center has maintained a field station in Rio Grande City, Texas, since 1981 to facilitate investigation of common disease problems among the Mexican-American population of Texas.
