At the Department of Cellular, Molecular and Genetic Medicine, our wide-ranging research is united by a shared misson: to deepen scientific understanding and drive discoveries that improve human health. Our work spans fields such as molecular signaling, gene discovery, structural biology, functional genomics, and systems physiology — all grounded in a strong commitment to translational research and practical application.
With access to state-of-the-art facilities across VCU and a culture of collaboration, our research efforts go hand-in-hand with our educational programs, offering rigorous training and hands-on experience that prepare students for meaningful careers in academia, industry, government, and more.
