M. Anwar Iqbal, Ph.D., FACMGG Professor and Director, DNA Microarray CGH Laboratory Associate Director, Cytogenetics Laboratory Director of Clinical Cytogenetics Development University of Rochester Medical Center 1974 Bachelor of Science, Biological Sciences-Genetics (major), Osmania University, India 1977 Master of Science, Genetics, Osmania University, India 1983 Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D., Human Genetics), Osmania University, India Board-certified clinical cytogeneticist (American Board of Medical Genetics), and a founding fellow of the American College of Medical Genetics. I have more than 30 years of experience in the clinical cytogenetic and molecular cytogenetic fields. My current translational research efforts are focused on optical genome mapping (OGM). Optical genome mapping (OGM) is an emerging next-generation cytogenetics tool that enables a comprehensive genomic analysis. My previous research was on the temporal replication and expression of multi-family genes, including oncogenes in human cell lines.
