Clinical Genomics Uppsala celebrates 10 years of translational research and precision medicine
Genetic analyses offer great potential for improved and personalized diagnostics and treatment. Clinical Genomics Uppsala has, during its first ten years, contributed to the development of 85 diagnostic tests that are routinely used in healthcare. The advancements were celebrated with a symposium on September 3rd.
It was fantastic to be able to collect so many people from the SciLifeLab community, healthcare and industry to listen to some of the important results from our work and discuss the future of precision medicine, says Malin Melin, head of Clinical Genomics Uppsala.
Clinical Genomics Uppsala was established in 2014 to facilitate the translation of new genomic techniques into clinical use. Our mission is to develop genetic diagnostics in collaboration with healthcare and to offer services to promote translational research and clinical studies.
"CG Uppsala serves as an important collaborative link between the university and healthcare, helping us keep pace with rapid technological and scientific advancements, as well as developing the precision diagnostics required for precision medicine, says Tommie Olofsson", Director of the Academic Laboratory at Uppsala University Hospital.
