Our Mission “The Institute for Genomic Medicine at the University of California, San Diego aims to discover new pathways in human health and disease and translate these discoveries to clinical and preventive medicine. Our multidisciplinary physician-scientist teams integrate clinical phenotypes with genomic, transcriptomic, proteomic, metabolomic and signaling approaches to understand and treat genetic contributions to human disease .” Learn More -- Upcoming Events Genetics Training Program 12th Annual Retreat -- Genetics, Bioinformatics and Systems Biology Colloquium Genetics & Genomics in Medicine Seminar Series Past Events 10/15/18 2018 IGM Symposium: Genome and Transcriptome Engineering 3/22/18 Genetics Training Program 11th Annual Retreat -- 07/19/17 Novel Epigenetic Assays Seminar 05/11/17 Genetics Training Program 10th Annual Retreat 02/23/17 2nd Annual Daniel T.
