The Department of Molecular Genetics operates from the Medical Sciences Building, with close to 100 faculty members conducting research across multiple facilities including the Best Institute, Donnelly Centre for Cellular and Biomolecular Research, FitzGerald Building, Hospital for Sick Children, Mount Sinai Hospital, Ontario Institute for Cancer Research, and Princess Margaret Hospital.
Our Master of Science and PhD programs in Molecular Genetics provide research opportunities across diverse genetic systems, from microorganisms to human subjects. Investigative work spans DNA repair mechanisms, gene expression control, cellular signaling pathways, host-pathogen interactions, developmental genetics in model organisms, molecular neuroscience, immunology, cancer biology, structural biology, and human genetic therapies.
In Functional Genomics and Proteomics, MoGen researchers employ cutting-edge technologies to decode how genetic and protein information drives biological functions. Our focus includes mapping fundamental cellular mechanisms governing growth and development while pinpointing disease-related alterations.
