Newswise — Yong-Hui Jiang, MD, PhD, Professor and Chief of Medical Genetics at Yale School of Medicine, will serve as Primary Investigator at the new Yale Diagnostic Center of Excellence, a member of the National Institutes of Health's Undiagnosed Diseases Network.

“The challenge is there are so many diseases we have not even made a diagnosis for,” Dr. Jiang said. “In medicine, if you don’t know what a patient has, it’s very challenging to figure out how you can help them.”

Dr. Jiang is available to discuss the new Center and the importance of cooperation and funding for rare disease research, diagnostics and treatment.
