The NIH consists of 19 separate institutes. We are members of the National Institute for Child Health and Human Development (NICHD), one of the largest and most productive of the institutes. We are one of 17 research sections in the Program on Genomics of Differentiation (PGD). Our laboratory is housed on the main NIH campus in Bethesda, Maryland. Collaborations, exchange of information and reagents, and technical support among our scientists are excellent. Everyone's research is fully funded by the NIH.
