Netgene are a group of Netter medical students interested in advancing the practice of, and research in, genomics and personalized medicine. Our goal is to provide a community for students, scientists, residents, physicians, medical geneticists, and other professionals working in the field.
Netgene serves to identify mentorship opportunities, organize clinical case reviews, host research presentations, and offer workshops in computational genomics.
The Netgene CoLab offers a forum for those doing research related to genomics and personalized medicine to share their ideas, get feedback on their work, learn new methods, and form collaborations.
Netgene's faculty advisor is Professor Miriam DiMaio.
