Welcome to the Division of Genome Information Sciences in the UC San Diego School of Medicine’s Department of Pediatrics.

The main function of this division is to use genomic information as a basis for focusing on the predisposition for complex diseases and cancer starting in childhood but spanning the whole age spectrum.


The Division of Genome Information Sciences was established in the fall of 2009 and is led by Dr. Kelly Frazer in the UC San Diego School of Medicine's Department of Pediatrics. The faculty in the division work closely with physicians in the Department of Pediatrics and Rady Children's Hospital, and collaborates frequently with the university's Institute for Genomic Medicine.
