Genomics Centres: the backbone of the Dutch genomics community

The 16 NGI Genomics Centres are large-scale partnerships of university groups, research institutes, industry and societal organisations that work on visionary, yet targeted programmes. These programmes cover the complete track from basic science to applied research, as well as research into the societal implications of the products and technologies developed. Ultimately all this will also lead to product development.
