The Department of Genetics is a high-precision basic medical and biological research department, focusing on exploring the internal operation rules of biological genes and the influence mechanism of genetic factors on organisms.
The main research contents include biological gene sequence sorting, genetic character inheritance rule research, genetic mutation cause analysis and hereditary disease pathogenic gene exploration and intervention research. It relies on high-precision biological experimental equipment to carry out long-term tracking research.
It has established joint research mechanisms with many medical research centers and biological science laboratories on campus, accelerating the research progress of genetic related diseases and genetic optimization application technology, and providing theoretical and experimental basis for precision medical treatment and biological genetic improvement.
