DCGMS

Founded in 2010 by Prof. Hans Lehrach (Director at the Max Planck Institute for Molecular Genetics), the Dahlem Centre for Genome Research and Medical Systems Biology (DCGMS) is a not-for-profit pioneering systems biology research group focused on the analysis, characterisation and modelling of diseases. Through collaborations with leading academic researchers and clinical departments, alongside the expertise and innovation of the private sector, the DCGMS is facilitating the translation of 'omics' data into a clinical setting through mathematical modelling... Fortunately, we have now, just in time, new, powerful tools to address these enormous challenges, based on technologies developed as a result of the Human Genome Project. Of major importance is the great leaps forward in our ability to generate vast amounts of molecular information on individuals, using next generation sequencing technologies. We now have access to powerful technologies that have shifted the cost of sequencing a..
