We are delighted to announce that Dr. Portman will assume the directorship of the graduate program in Genetics, Development and Stem Cells. Both a geneticist and neuroscientist at heart, Doug has been a long-standing member of the Department of Biomedical Genetics with joint appointments in the Departments of Biology and Neuroscience. He has also served as the director of the admission committee for the neuroscience graduate program and has been a reviewer and panel chair for the prestigious Ruth L.
