Research Information
Dr. Hamid's research has focused on cellular and molecular mechanisms that underlie the person-to-person variation in complex human disease, that is, why a gene mutation causes disease in one individual and not another or why are there differences in disease severity amongst individuals. His research centers around discovering the molecular and cellular answers to these fundamental genetic questions as clues to better diagnosis and treatment for complex genetic disorders.
