The Center for Inherited Disease Research (CIDR)
The Center for Inherited Disease Research (CIDR) is a centralized facility that provides genotyping and statistical genetics services for investigators seeking to identify genes that contribute to human disease. CIDR was established in 1996 and is supported through a $65 million federal contract (number N01-HG-65403) which is funded by twelve Institutes at the National Institutes of Health (NIH). CIDR concentrates primarily on multifactorial hereditary disease although analysis of single gene disorders can also be accommodated. CIDR is available to all investigators through competitive peer review by a chartered CIDR Access Committee (CAC). CIDR offers a variety of services to meet the needs of investigators.
Dr. David Valle is the Principal Investigator and Director of the facility.
