Powering genomic medicine, together
We partner with the NHS to provide whole genome sequencing diagnostics. We also equip researchers to find the causes of disease and develop new treatments – with patients and participants at the heart of it all.
Our focus
Helping the NHS embed genomics into routine healthcare
We provide diagnostics and technology to enhance genomic healthcare and streamline patient care in the NHS.
Enabling scientific research via our large genomic database
Our secure Research Environment equips approved researchers to make discoveries that enhance participants' lives.
Helping improve diagnoses and treatments for patients
Patients sit at the heart of everything we do at Genomics England – improving their lives is what our lives revolve around.
Current initiatives
Cancer 2.0
Integrating long-read sequencing and multimodal data into cancer analysis.
Diverse Data Initiative
Examining healthcare inequality to bring genomic healthcare benefits to all.
100,000 Genomes Project
Our flagship project which changed the face of genomic healthcare in the UK.
Newborn Genomes Programme
Exploring the benefits and challenges of analysing whole genomes in newborns.
COVID-19 Study
Partnering with GenOMICC, we analysed the genomes of those affected by COVID-19.
The 100,000 Genomes Project has laid the foundations for the new NHS Genomic Medicine service to make sure children like Jessica have the best chance of getting a diagnosis as early in life as possible.
