Every Genome Tells a Story

Our genes shape who we are in so many distinct and different ways. So, too, do they play more than a passing role in how we develop and react to disease, and as important, how our body reacts to treatment. At the Center, our faculty are pioneers in deciphering the story a person’s genome has to tell. They have the ability to decipher a patient's genome and provide information to the physician —and families— about how best to attack a given disease.
