Institute

Welcome to the Institute of Human Genetics of the University Medical Center Göttingen (UMG). We will be happy to advise you on all aspects relating to genetic disorders and offer you a broad range of diagnostic tests using modern cytogenic, molecular-cytogenetic and molecular genetic methods.

Our research groups are successfully investigating the causes of monogenic disorders, the pathogenesis of cancer and novel options for its treatment as well as mechanisms underlying key biological processes such as genomic (in)stability. We are committed to engage young people and spark their interest in human genetics and are thus actively involved in academic teaching and professional education and training.
