WelcomeWelcome to the University of Pittsburgh Center for Craniofacial and Dental Genetics. The Center is comprised of faculty members, students, and research staff within the School of Dental Medicine of the University of Pittsburgh, with affiliate members and collaborators throughout the United States and abroad. The major research focus of the Center is in identifying genes that contribute to complex human phenotypes, primarily those involved in craniofacial and dental disorders. Such studies involve molecular and statistical genetic approaches for gene mapping and identification, as well as investigations into phenotype delineation, and behavioral and epidemiological factors contributing to each disorder. |
