Department of Genetics and Complex Diseases
The research activities in the Department of Genetics and Complex Diseases and its pre and postdoctoral training programs concentrate on the molecular, cellular, and organismic adaptations and responses to nutrients, toxins, and radiation stress and explore the genetic basis controlling the heterogeneity of these interactions in experimental systems. The integrated interdisciplinary opportunities also aim to apply this knowledge to human populations to understand, prevent, and treat complex human diseases.Affiliation: Harvard School of Public HealthWeb site: http://www.hsph.harvard.edu/departments/genetics-and-complex-diseases/
