Description:

HOME The Institute for Human Genetics (IHG) serves as the hub for all activities in human genetics at UCSF.OUR MISSION is to create an exciting, productive, and collaborative environment for research, training, and clinical application in human genetics.Our faculty span all four schools (Dentistry, Medicine, Nursing, Pharmacy), and many departments within those schools, reflecting the broad importance of human genetics both in basic scientific research and in modern day health care. The sequencing of the human genome, accompanied in recent years with the dramatic reduction in cost for obtaining an individual’s genome sequence, augurs a new era in translational human genetics, impacting not only rare, Mendelian diseases but effectively all diseases affecting the human population. The IHG and its members intend to be in the forefront of these transformational developments.EmailFacebookTwitterLinkedIn Kathy Hyland honored with the UCSF Distinction in Teaching AwardThe IHG is proud to announce that Katherine Hyland, PhD was awarded the 2020 Academic Senate Distinction in Teaching Award.
