One day, I envision that everyone is going to have the opportunity to have their genetic material sequenced, and then we will know how to individualize the intervention for the patient that is sitting in front of us.

Chief Genomics Officer
The UCSF Center for Clinical Genetics and Genomics spans clinical genetics and genomics services from conception through senescence.
We are a preeminent hub for genetic diagnosis, counseling and testing for pre-conception, prenatal, neonatal, cancer, pediatric and adult conditions. We are a leader in innovative clinical, diagnostic and educational services for local, state, national and international patients. We provide genetic services throughout the system in a financially responsible and cost-effective manner, partnering and collaborating with relevant departments and their leadership.
Our goal is to incorporate genomics and precision medicine into everyday practice, develop processes for high value genomic evaluation, build the knowledge base for predictive genomics in diverse populations, assure that genomic information is available and accessible for all. Build genomic information management systems, and CLIA-CAP certified genomic laboratory services to benefit all UCSF departments and accelerate innovation in clinical care.
The overarching goal of our services is to support all departments and clinical services in the provision of precision medical care through preventive/predictive/curative genomics. This cutting-edge service will in the future integrate other molecular measures in medicine with clinical data, innovative phenotyping and longitudinal tracking for improved wellness, health, diagnostics and therapeutics for our patients.
