Genomic Medicine
The Genomic Medicine Unit aims to implement whole-genome sequencing (WGS) technology within the public healthcare network as a clinical, research, and development tool associated with precision medicine in Navarra. Originating from research projects funded by the Department of Industry of the Government of Navarra, this group consists of internal resources (Principal Investigators, postdoctoral researchers, genetic counselors, and research support technicians), clinical experts, as well as staff from other Units, Platforms, and project advisors. It currently maintains several main lines of research.
Research lines:
- Identification of new genes and/or genetic variants causing genetically based pathology in patients with rare diseases.
- Identification of genomic alterations with a high clinical, diagnostic, prognostic, and therapeutic impact, as well as predictors of personal and reproductive risk.
- Identification of genomic variants that modify drug response.
- Efficiency evaluation of population-based personalized prevention programs.
- Development of new bioinformatics analysis tools for the implementation of healthcare-focused genomic analysis within Healthcare Systems (in collaboration with the Bioinformatics Unit).
- Development of a genomic data ecosystem for its secondary and primary reuse.
