Clinical Genetic Research Facility
Director: Penelope Roberts, M.S.
Location: 185 Cambridge St., Simches Building, 2nd Floor, Boston
The Clinical Genetic Research Facility (CGRF) offers clinical investigators a convenient, modern research-dedicated facility for outpatient studies involving genetics. Our outpatient exam rooms and phlebotomy rooms are fully equipped, and an experienced medical assistant is available to facilitate the visits. Since the CGRF's primary mission is to support and promote genetic clinical research, the facility's investigators performing genetic studies supported by non-commercial sponsors are given priority. The CGRF also considers genetic studies sponsored by industry, as well as studies without a genetic component, on a space-available basis.
