The McKusick-Nathans Institute of Genetic Medicine (IGM) seeks to further the understanding of human heredity and genetic medicine and use that knowledge to treat and prevent disease.
The IGM is working to consolidate all relevant teaching, patient care and research in human and medical genetics at Johns Hopkins to provide national and international leadership in genetic medicine. The IGM serves as a focal point for interactions between diverse investigators to promote the application of genetic discoveries to human disease and genetics education to the public. It builds upon past strengths and further develops expertise in the areas of genomics, developmental genetics and complex disease genetics. The IGM works to catalyze the spread of human genetic perspectives to other related disciplines by collaboration with other departments within Johns Hopkins.
There are more than 300 dedicated employees in the IGM, fulfilling the Johns Hopkins tripartite mission of research, teaching and patient care. They include 45 full-time faculty, 15 residents, more than 70 graduate students and 200 staff.
