Pediatric Genomic Medicine
Personalized health care and precision medicine by using state-of-the-art cutting edge genomic advances in everyday clinical practice.
Genomics is the study of all genes in the genome including their interactions with each other and with environmental factors. Genomic medicine is the use of this information to improve health outcomes. The goal of our genomic medicine specialty at UC Davis is to help improve the quality of life for children and family members of individuals with genetic disorders through clinical care, research, and education.
Research Activities
Our faculty are involved in basic science and translational research as well as clinical research and are studying topics such as ocular, neuromuscular and metabolic genetics and well as neurodevelopmental and seizure disorders. Our researchers also collaborate with other basic research scientists in developing animal models to perform functional studies and develop a means for translational research.
