Research

Our group has been involved in the study and evaluation of genetic counseling methodology(ies) and the development of innovative teaching strategies for genetic counseling students,  residents, and fellows as well as the medical and lay communities.  Clinically we have been involved with studies related to reproductive carrier screening, particularly in the Ashkenazi Jewish community.  We have been at the forefront of reproductive technologies with our Maternal-Fetal medicine faculty as well as the impact of these technologies on women.  We continue to be involved with the ethical and social impact of genetics (and genomics) on society.
