Overview


HUMAN GENETICS RESEARCH CENTRE (HGRC) (DST-FIST FUNDED FACILITY)


The Human Genetics Research Centre (HGRC) features a DST-FIST supported state-of-the-art facility for advanced molecular investigations and precision genetic screening of oral and systemic diseases.


The Human Genetics Research Centre (HGRC) at SBDCH is a multidisciplinary research unit funded by DST-FIST dedicated to advancing knowledge in human genetics, molecular biology, and precision medicine, with special emphasis on oral diseases and systemic diseases/disorders/syndromes with genetic components. The centre integrates molecular diagnostics, translational research, and clinical collaboration to understand the genetic basis of disease and develop innovative diagnostic and therapeutic strategies. HGRC aims to serve as a regional hub for genomic research, biomarker discovery, and personalized healthcare.
