WHAT we do

Genomics and Lung Disease link arrow

In 2003, the Human Genome Project completed a basic “map” of the human genome—the entire sequence of the DNA found in each of our cells, all the biological information required to make us who we are... Read More

A Collaborative Effort link arrow

The LGRC is collecting data on lung disease on an unprecedented level. Because of the complexity of the process, our work calls for a highly talented and specialized team of scientists with expertise in the fields of genetics, genomics, and bioinformatics... Read More

Research Methods link arrow

In the “post-genome world,” we have made astounding advances in our understanding of the molecular processes that govern how our cells function. But navigating the path from decoding our DNA to understanding disease is challenging because human cells are very complex. That’s why the genomic analysis of disease requires the use of sophisticated methods and technologies...
