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.

Researchers from the Centre for BioSystems Genomics and the Netherlands Bioinformatics Centre have played a key role in a recent Nature publication on the genome of potato.
This work, initiated and coordinated by the Netherlands, involved more than 130 scientists from 13 different countries, and represents a major milestone in potato research.
The published genome will not only provide the seminal reference source for future potato genetics research, both fundamental and applied, but will also become the blueprint for all subsequent potato sequencing initiatives.
