J. Barry Whitney III, PhD
Do you need help to understand what your genetics counselor told you? Do you understand the implications for your immediate and extended family of the inheritance of a genetic factor that you are carrying? Do you understand the basis for treatments that you may be considering? Do you want to know more about Gene Therapy?Do you have questions about genetics in general, the inheritance of genes in humans, animals, and plants? Do you want to know more about the Human Genome Project and its implications for the future? Do you want to know more about the role of genes in sex determination? Do you need help in locating genetics resources on the WWW?
After earning my PhD in Genetics at the University of North Carolina (Chapel Hill), I worked in genetic research at the University of Wisconsin, The Jackson Laboratory (Bar Harbor, ME), and the National Institutes of Health (Bethesda, MD, National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute). From 1980 to 2000, I carried out research in genetics and taught genetics to medical students and molecular genetics to graduate students at the Medical College of Georgia in Augusta. As a professional geneticist, I can give you the help you need to understand genetics as completely as you wish.
