Genetics profiles for scleroderma
Dartmouth researchers have discovered distinct molecular signatures to classify the diversity of scleroderma, a complex and mysterious autoimmune disorder. Their results, published in PLOS One, open new opportunities for better diagnosis and treatment of the chronic, potentially fatal skin-thickening disorder. Using genetic maps of the skin, the team, headed by Dr. Michael Whitfield, delineated gene expression patterns to categorize patients beyond obvious symptoms. Read more...

Welcome!

Dartmouth Medical School has nucleated a distinguished Department of Genetics, poised to exploit and contribute to the explosive growth in information and its application to solving problems in biological systems.

This department has a unique role in research, teaching, and clinical missions, and provides a novel and distinctive interface with Dartmouth College. With anticipated additions to the existing dozen primary appointments over the next five years, Genetics at Dartmouth will increase in both breadth and depth to fulfill a mission that includes development of individual strengths as well as collaborations among existing departments and programs.
