ABOUT US

The Institute of Human Genetics (IHG) began in 1990 as the Medical Genetics Unit of the University of the Philippines-College of Medicine which in 1999 became one of the service and research oriented institutes of the National Institutes of Health-University of the Philippines Manila (NIH-UP).
