The Johns Hopkins  Human Genetics Training Program provides a training in all aspects of human genetics and genomics relevant to human biology, health and disease.

The overall objective of the Human Genetics program is to provide our students with a strong foundation in basic science by exposure to a rigorous graduate education in genetics, genomics, molecular biology, cell biology, biochemistry and biostatistics as well as a core of medically-related courses selected to provide knowledge of human biology in health and disease.  Advances in human genetics and genomics continue at an astounding rate and increasingly they are being integrated into medical practice. The Johns Hopkins Predoctoral Training Program in Human Genetics (HG) aims to educate highly motivated and capable students with the knowledge and experimental tools that will enable them to answer important questions at the interface between genetics and medicine. Ultimately, our trainees will be the leaders in delivering the promise of genetics to human health.

The Human Genetics Program has also partnered with the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health (JHSPH) and the National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI) in establishing the Maryland Genetics, Epidemiology, and Medicine Training Program (MD-GEM). Funded by the Burroughs Wellcome Fund, MD-GEM takes a multidisciplinary approach by combining the expertise of all three institutions, to foster the development of a new generation of scientists.  Interested Human Genetics students can participate in this additional training.

This program is also offered as training for medical students in the combined M.D./Ph.D. program. Students apply to the combined program at the time of application to the M.D. program. (See section entitled Medical Scientist Training Program).
