From Innovation to Biological Insight.

Discoveries Enabled by the LGR

LGR’s research spans the development of new functional genomics technologies and experimental approaches, large-scale genetic screens, and studies that uncover biological mechanisms and deepen our understanding of human health and disease.

Collaborator Perspective

“The LGR has enabled ambitious and innovative functional genomics studies in technically challenging, disease-relevant models. Their deep expertise in functional genomics tools, combined with an exceptional ability to rapidly execute complex, large-scale screens, has far exceeded my expectations.” — Dr. Gabriel Loeb, MD, PhD, UCSF
