Who we are?
The Center leverages the clinical, genomics, and functional research infrastructure and human resources at AJCH and MBRU to propel the Center’s interdisciplinary activities. Our clinicians and researchers are high qualified experts in their respective fields. The CGD will bring together experts to resolve undiagnosed patients with highly suspected inherited disorders. Furthermore, the Center will create a training and research site for the Masters, PhD students, and post-doctoral fellows at MBRU.
