1 Dr. Priya Duggal, Director In the post-genomic era where larger amounts of genetic data are now readily available, it has become increasingly important to design studies and use analytical techniques that will accurately detect and describe the role genes play in human disease. Genes alone can cause some human diseases, and the public health impact of such Mendelian diseases must be considered. However, for most diseases with complex etiology, many genes and environmental factors contribute to risk. The field of genetic epidemiology is focused on designs and analytical techniques to identify how genetic variations contribute to the risk of disease. The academic program in genetic epidemiology provides background in human genetics and a comprehensive understanding of study designs and statistical approaches used in genetic epidemiology. These include assessment of heritability and familial aggregation, genetic linkage analysis, genetic association analyses in population-based and family-based studies, gene-gene and gene-environment interactions, structural variants and the analysis of high-throughput genomic data, including data from whole-genome microarray and next generation sequencing experiments. The sequence of genetic epidemiology courses taken during the first year offers a broad based introduction to techniques of disease variant identification and risk assessment. These courses complement the required epidemiology and biostatistics sequences and emphasize how specialized genetic and genomic techniques can be merged with conventional epidemiologic study designs. Other requirements of the genetic epidemiology concentration (e.g., Introduction to Molecular Biology) are designed to insure the student has a firm understanding of the molecular underpinnings of genetics or the necessary programming demands (e.g. Statistics for Genomics). In addition to the required courses, required journal clubs and research in progress are scheduled monthly, which offers an opportunity for informal discussions among students and faculty. The monthly Genetic Epidemiology Seminar Series, held jointly with the Institute for Genetic Medicine, serves as a forum for presentations of research by faculty within and outside of JHU (attendance required). In addition, a Genetic Research Day in collaboration with the Institute for Genetic Medicine occurs in the Fall/Winter and is an opportunity for students to present their work to the broader JHU research community. The genetic epidemiology program s faculty are actively engaged in a wide range of research projects, including investigations of: birth defects, infectious diseases, cancer, eye and vision disorders, renal and cardiovascular diseases, pulmonary disease, chronic kidney disease, diabetes and metabolic disorders, and developmental disorders. In addition our faculty are actively involved in methodologic research to develop and assess study designs and statistical methods for genetic epidemiology and genomics. Current and former students have conducted their thesis research on a variety of topics including genetic susceptibility to diabetes, AIDS, bipolar disorder, breast cancer, and asthma. Through collaborative research projects both within and outside the Department, students are offered the opportunity to develop their own ideas and implement and advance the analytical methods introduced in the required courses.
