Director (Center for Models of Human Disease) The Hussman Institute for Human Genomics (HIHG) is seeking a Director for HIHG Center for Models of Human Disease. The mission of the HIHG is to identify and explain genetic influences on human health and to help translate genetic and genomic research into medical practice. To conduct cutting edge genomics research and achieve this mission, the HIHG consists of five integrated centers that house requisite expertise and technology. The Center for Models of Human Disease, one of the five integrated centers of the HIHG, will study the biological effects of genes involved in disease susceptibility through the construction of model organisms. These models can be used to identify and study both normal gene and disease mechanisms, and generate genetic and biology-based models that can be used for therapeutic screening by the research community. Specifically, the ideal candidate will:
