Division of Genetics

Our Research program integrates molecular biology, classical genetics, computational biology, gene therapy, and clinical medicine to understand the basic mechanisms of disease and to develop treatment strategies.

The BWH Division of Genetics is an academic unit located witin The Department of Medicine at Brigham and Women's Hospital and Harvard Medical School. In addition to its research activities described here, the Division interacts synergistically with many other genetics programs throughout Harvard Medical School.
