Clemson University Center for Human Genetics
- Academic, tech transfer
The Clemson University Center for Human Genetics (CUCHG) is led by world-renowned quantitative geneticist Trudy Mackay, Ph.D., FRS and member of the National Academy of Medicine and the National Academy of Sciences. CUCHG research focuses on genomic, computational and comparative genetic approaches to gain insights in genetic and environmental risk factors for human diseases. CUCHG utilizes the genetic model organisms, including the genetic model Drosophila melanogaster (fruit fly), the developmental biology model, Danio rerio (zebrafish), and human cell lines and patient samples. CUCHG integrates high-throughput genome sequencing technologies and analyses of large data sets with advanced computational approaches to acquire broad-based insights in the composition and dynamics of genetic networks that are associated with variation in rare diseases and complex traits in humans, enabling precision medicine.
