In 1984, he received his PhD in medicine. This happened at the University of Pennsylvania.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"New_direction\"><\/span>New direction<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>After that, Semenza began studying pediatrics.

He put it into action at the University&#8217;s Institute for Cell Engineering. He is also a member of the Department of Genetic Medicine of the same institution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Membership_in_organizations\"><\/span>Membership in organizations<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition to the accomplishments listed above, Gregg is one of the founders of the American Coll\u0435ge of M\u0435dical Gen\u0435tics.
