Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, Department of Genetics and Genomic Sciences

Our mission is to understand how genetic variation shapes health and disease and translate that knowledge into better care and new treatments. Through research, patient care, and clinical trials, we work to improve health while training the next generation of genetics and genomics professionals.

The Department of Genetics and Genomic Sciences at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai includes research laboratories, a medical genetics practice, and clinical trials programs. Our scientists, clinicians, data specialists, trainees, and staff work together to understand disease, support patients and families, and develop new approaches to care. We value collaboration, thoughtful problem-solving, and the strong day-to-day operations that keep this work moving.
