Medical genetics residency programs allow residents to engage in basic science and translational research activities. Residents can carve their own research paths during their training. In asking this question during your time together, your interviewers are simply looking to hear that you are interested in research and have some indication of where you would like to take your research as a resident with their program.

"Yes, I am interested in research that focuses on gene therapy and cancer genetics. As a medical genetics resident with your program, I'm very interested in the clinical and translational research track where I can start to work towards K and eventual R grants heading into my career in practice."
