Overview
The Mass General Brigham Training Program in Precision & Genomic Medicine is co-led by Jordan W. Smoller, MD, ScD and Heidi Rehm PhD, FACMG; whose combined expertise spans the key domains that are a focus of this program: medical genetics and genomics, large-scale data analytics, molecular medicine and implementation of genomic research in clinical populations.
The training program brings together three outstanding components to build a world-class training program in precision and genomic medicine:
- an internationally-recognized faculty with expertise in precision and genomic medicine across a broad range of disciplines,
- outstanding institutional resources bridging clinical, genomic, and data sciences, and
- deep engagement with cutting edge, collaborative initiatives at the regional, national, and international levels to provide rich training experiences.
Faculty mentors and research resources span leading institutions including Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH), Brigham and Women’s Hospital (BWH), Partners Personalized Medicine (PPM), Boston Childrens Hospital (BCH), the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard (Broad), Harvard Medical School (HMS), and the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health (HSPH).
The Center for Genomic Medicine (CGM) comprises one of the largest and most vibrant hubs of genomic medicine research in the world. The CGM includes 46 faculty collaborating to define the ‘genomic medicine cycle’ – which envisages a genomics community seeking to advance research from basic genomics research to ultimately using genome information for diagnostics and targeted therapeutics. All of our investigators are faculty at Harvard Medical School, and many members of our community are also investigators at the Broad Institute of Harvard and MIT.
