Infrastructure

The institutions that make this research possible.

Beyond funding and consortia, our studies depend on the clinical, computational, and academic infrastructure of a few key institutions.

Our Institutions

Where the clinical and computational work happens.

Clinical Home

Massachusetts General Hospital

Dr. Leong practices in the Divisions of Endocrinology and General Internal Medicine at MGH, and the Diabetes Research Center is where every human study — TARGET, CGM-A1c Genetics, COVID, and PROGRESS — is actually run.

Health System

Mass General Brigham

MGH’s parent health system, whose electronic health records and genotyped biobank make recall-by-genotype recruitment possible — identifying study participants at the extremes of genetic risk directly from real clinical data.

Academic Affiliation

Harvard Medical School

Dr. Leong is Assistant Professor of Medicine at Harvard Medical School, the academic home for the team’s teaching, mentorship, and academic appointments.

Genomics & Computation

Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard

Dr. Leong is an Associate Member of the Broad Institute, home to the computational genomics infrastructure and several collaborators — including Dr. Josep Mercader’s group — behind this team’s genetic discovery work.

Genomics Research

Center for Genomic Medicine

MGH’s dedicated center for genomic research, home to the Florez Lab and the broader genomic medicine infrastructure that supports this team’s genotyping, sequencing, and genetic association work across all four active studies.
