The Department of Medical Genetics And Molecular Biochemistry (MG & MB) has been formed as part of the continued investment by the Temple University School of Medicine in its clinical and research infrastructure.  The Department builds upon a long-standing tradition of excellence in biomedical research and a distinguished record of education.  We are among the first departments to combine the clinical, research, and educational aspects of Genetics with research and education in Biochemistry.

All research faculty members participate in the interdisciplinary Biomedical Sciences Graduate Program. As described under the individual faculty web pages, most faculty members have active research programs and participate in the teaching programs across Temple University. In addition, MG & MB has a number of adjunct faculty members in other Departments, Centers, and Schools at Temple University and within our affiliated institution Fox Chase Cancer Center.
