Saving lives and improving the wellness of individual citizens and the community by advancing genomic sciences and precision medicine.

The Mellowes Center has its roots in the launch of the Human Genome Project and the 1999 founding of the MCW Human and Molecular Genetics Center. The Mellowes Center uses state-of-the-art whole genome sequencing technologies not only to investigate how gene variants impact gene expression but also to define genetic variants associated with both rare and common disease, embryonic development, and the effects of environmental factors and drugs upon gene expression and disease.
