Go to members' areaWhat is the Genomics England Research Network?
A network of approved researchers with access to the Genomics England Research Environment. This secure workspace provides a place to carry out research on de-identified datasets in the National Genomics Research Library, gaining novel disease and patient-related insights.
The aim is to enable scientific discovery and accelerate its translation into patient care.
Who can join:
Our mission
Improve patients' lives
Increase the medical impact on patients by advancing secure, shared access to relevant genomic data between researchers and clinicians.
The Research Network and its communities
Our Research Network is organised into ‘communities'. These communities consist of researchers, NHS clinical disease experts, NHS healthcare professionals and trainees that that share mutual methodological approaches and research goals. When you join, you'll be asked to join the communities that are most relevant to your work.
The Research Network
Researchers and clinicians, from both academia and the NHS, are working together to continually analyse data from the Genomics England datasets with the aim of creating better clinical understanding and better patient outcomes.
