WelcomeUAB's Genetics and Genomic Sciences Graduate (GGS) ThemeThe GGS provides students with an outstanding, flexible, didactic training experience to prepare them for independent and innovative careers in research. We emphasize a broad approach to the fundamental principles of genetics and genomics, and offer a large pool of mentors with expertise in a wide variety of research areas. We invite you to explore our Web site today. Jacquenlyn Zimmerman, GGS/MSTP student and Boris Pasche, M.D., Ph.D., GGS faculty member and director of the UAB Division of Hematology and oncology, are leading a team of researchers who have found that very low levels of amplitude-modulated radiofreqauency electromagnetic fields block cancer-cell growth in a tumor-and tissue-specific fasion.

Students heard about the latest cutting-edge genetics findings from researchers at UAB and HudsonAlpha Institute for Biotechnology and presented their own research findings as well. Congratulations to GGS students Brandon Shaw, Michelle McClure, and Shuwen Cao for winning prizes for their posters presented at the 2011 UAB Department of Genetics Retreat.
