National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI) Research

The National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI) conducts research to understand human genes and how they influence health and disease. Their work involves mapping the entire human genome—identifying all genes and their functions—and developing tools to study genetic information. NHGRI aims to improve diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of diseases by uncovering genetic factors. They also explore ethical, legal, and social issues related to genetics, ensuring responsible use of this knowledge. Overall, their research helps advance personalized medicine and deepens our understanding of human biology.
