Genomics Task Force
The Provost has recently formed a task force of faculty to develop a
proposal for a program that will significantly advance and coordinate genomics
research at Penn. The field of genomics--the study of genes and their function--represents
a new, dynamic development within biological research involving the collaboration
of scholars in multiple disciplines. Many faculty at Penn are already pursuing
genomics research in a variety of areas. Task force members include representatives
from the Schools of Medicine, Engineering & Applied Science, Arts &
Sciences, and Veterinary Medicine.Ralph Amado (chair), Vice Provost for
