Genetic Disease Research Branch
GDRB investigators use human and mouse genetics to identify and clarify the pathways of both human genetic diseases and normal development. Model systems, such as genetically altered mice and in vitro cell culture systems, are major components of these investigations. Ongoing efforts include research aimed at understanding the genetic components of a number of human developmental diseases, particularly of the nervous, immune, and musculoskeletal systems. There also is a heavy emphasis on human neurodegenerative disorders. Investigator Recruitment in Genetic Disease Research Senior InvestigatorsLeslie G. Biesecker, M.D. William J.
