Department of Neurology

Eccles Institute of Human Genetics

The George and Dolores Eccles Institute of Human Genetics is the center of genetic research at the University of Utah.

Neurogenetic research has been forwarded at this institute since its dedication in 1990, largely through the Utah Genome Depot, a resource integrating gene sequence and polymorphism data into individually annotated gene models.

However, other programs are housed here, including the Department of Human Genetics (providing graduate education and faculty in modern molecular genetics), the Human Molecular Biology and Genetics Program (an interdepartmental effort to strengthen the interface between clinical application and basic genetic research), Howard Hughes Medical Institute research, and a Genetic Science Learning Center.
