The primary objective of the unit of human developmental genetics is to understand the development and function of the mammalian gonad using a two-pronged approach. First involves  using NGS to define novel genetic and epigenetic anomalies associated with atypical development and function of the testis. The second approach is to develop ex-vivo cellular models of supporting somatic and germ cells of the testis to understand development of the reproductive system as well as the patho-physiology of  associated diseases.
