The backbone of the Dutch genomics community is formed by the 16 NGI Genomics Centres – this is where the work is done.
NGI has recently awarded four Booster Grants for public-private partnerships (PPPs) in the Life Sciences.
This programme is specifically designed to create opportunities for young researchers in life sciences to pursue fresh and challenging ideas with a high-risk profile.
NGI participates in a number of international partnerships and takes a leading role in several of them.
LifeSciences@work brings start-up support activities, former- and future participants and experts community together.
This publication provides a new and expanded overview of start-ups in Dutch life sciences.
The annual €1 million Valorisation Award for the Genomics Centre that has performed best according to the annual theme.
www.allesoverDNA.nl website answers a range of questions concerning DNA: What is DNA? What are genes? What is DNA sequencing? It is a source of information on research into DNA, heredity and genes of people, animals, plants and microorganisms.
The DNA Labs on the Road establish a bridge between education and the latest scientific insights. In the six labs, pupils carry out practical experiments using advanced technologies that are not available at schools.
Can we apply genomics to address a tangible problem in developing countries? That is the starting point of the Imagine... project, a Kluyver Centre initiative.

Various studies have shown an association between longevity and low thyroid hormone levels in animal models. In human populations, an association was observed between low thyroid function and longevity at old age. Studies from the Netherlands Consortium for Healthy Ageing now confirm that the favorable role of low thyroid hormone metabolism on health and longevity in model organisms is applicable to humans as well.
