In recognition of National DNA Days, a cutting-edge Clinical and Translational Science Collaborative (CTSC) Professor Drumm will share how his DNA research leads to stimulate advancements in medical treatments and cures for cystic fibrosis.
Dr. Drumm received his B.S. in 1983 from the Ohio State University and his Ph.D. from the University of Michigan in 1990, where he worked with Francis Collins, M.D., Ph.D., on identification of the gene causing cystic fibrosis. He joined the faculty at CWRU in 1992. His primary interests are the genetics and molecular biology surrounding the inherited disease cystic fibrosis. In particular, his research team studies genes that alter the clinical course of the disease in humans.
