Genomics into health
As genomic experts, we have a comprehensive understanding of how innovative technologies can contribute to more effective healthcare
We work with policy-makers, clinicians, academia and industry to develop future-focused healthcare strategies for safe and suitable use of innovations, such as diagnostics, genome editing and regenerative medicines. Only through understanding the benefits - and complexities - of genomics-based innovations and other 'omics sciences can we help everyone benefit from great science.
