About Dr. Mitchell Drumm

Mitchell Drumm, PhD, is a professor at Case Western Reserve University and a Clinical and Translational Science Collaborative (CTSC) Researcher. Dr. Drumm received his B.S. in 1983 from the Ohio State University and his PhD from the University of Michigan in 1990, where he worked with Francis Collins, M.D., PhD, on identification of the gene causing cystic fibrosis. Dr. Drumm 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 and uses mouse models to study the physiology of the processes involved. Additionally, his team is carrying out experiments to identify elements that control the activity of the CFTR gene.

About The Clinical and Translational Science Collaborative

The ultimate goal of the Clinical & Translational Science Collaborative (CSTC) in Cleveland, directed by Pamela B. Davis, M.D., PhD and Richard A. Rudick, M.D., is to provide complete service and integrated clinical translational research capability within the Cleveland community that will improve the health of patients in Northeast Ohio through patient-based research. The CTSC is a collaborative between Case Western Reserve University, Cleveland Clinic, MetroHealth Medical Center, and University Hospitals at Case Medical Center. Learn more about CSTC.
