Center for Genomics
Overview
The Centre for Genomics (CG) employs a multidisciplinary approach to better understand how genomes function in health and disease. We apply many tools used in genomic research, including physiological, cellular, imaging, molecular, and computational techniques, with the aim of transforming genetic discoveries into new methods of treating and diagnosing disease. Our objective is to integrate biological knowledge from the molecular, cellular, individual, and population levels and to apply this knowledge towards the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of disease with a tangible impact on the society.
As a new pillar recently developed in CG is to use high throughput sequencing technologies and analysis pipelines to better understand the integration of microbial infection strategies, host cellular functions, and host defense mechanisms in the pathogenesis of microbial diseases.
