The goal of the Division of Research is to expand knowledge and create new applications through laboratory and clinical research along the continuum from fundamental studies to preclinical investigations to bench-to-bedside translation (T1 research) to clinical practice and community implementation (T2 research).

This year, IGGP students attended the two days Department of Genetics retreat at the Alabama 4-H Center. The rich scientific program of the first day was followed by a day of fun in the sun, playing and building friendships on the low-rope course at 4-H. |

The first half of the scientific program was dedicated to systems biology and bioinformatics. At left is John Hartman, M.D. and at right is Brett McKinney, PhD, both from the Department of Genetics, UAB, giving their lectures. |

The keynote address was given by Robert Williams, PhD (University of Tennessee Health Science Center). In the left panel Lisa Guay-Woodford, MD, Department of Genetics, introduces Dr. Williams. The title of his talk was "Systems Genetics: Moving toward a new paradigm in integrative and translational research". In the right panel, Ludwine Messiaen, PhD (Department of Genetics, UAB) gives her lecture. |
