Despite the genetic cause for sickle cell being known for decades, there is still a limited understanding of the mechanisms behind wide variability in disease progression. Therefore, currently there is an increased interest in generating genomic data on sickle cell. Genomics England, in collaboration with Sickle Cell Society and the James Lind Alliance are working towards outlining priority areas for patients and healthcare professionals through a priority setting partnership. To find out more, revisit our podcast from World Sickle Cell Day 2023: https://ow.ly/x3pX50Tcp1X

We’re working to enable faster and deeper genomic diagnosis & research, to bring genomic healthcare to all who need it.
About us
Genomics England works with the NHS to bring forward the use of genomic healthcare and research in Britain to help people live longer, healthier lives. Genomics is a ground-breaking area of medicine that uses our unique genetic code to help diagnose, treat and prevent illnesses. Thanks to advanced technology, scientists can now compare many people’s genetic code to make new discoveries that continually improve genomic healthcare. In 2013, Genomics England and the NHS launched the 100,000 Genomes Project, demonstrating how genomics insights can help doctors across the NHS, and building a foundation for the future by assembling a unique dataset. Genomics England is now supporting the NHS to deliver genomic testing for patients as part of routine healthcare, and providing the health data and technology that researchers need to make new discoveries and create more effective, targeted medicines. We work with thousands of people – patients, doctors and scientists – to increase our collective knowledge and enable faster and deeper genomic research, to bring genomic healthcare to all who need it.

An exciting opportunity that may be of interest for those researchers in our Pan-Cancer and Molecular Oncology Community. This free residential event, taking place from 25-28 November 2024 is being led by Cancer Research UK, in partnership with the MRC National Mouse Genetics Network, to collaborate with and compete against multidisciplinary teams of data and cancer experts at their first Spatial Biology Data Challenge. Find out more below, and apply by 16 September via this link: https://bit.ly/3Mi7pZj
Applications for our first Spatial Biology Data Challenge, in partnership with MRC National Mouse Genetics Network, are now open! We’re inviting multidisciplinary data and cancer experts to join our data challenge and use large-scale spatial biology data to further cancer research. You’ll need to leverage the diverse experience within your group to create or develop tools for earlier cancer detection and prevention. This free residential event will take place on 25-28 November 2024 at Mercure Glasgow City Hotel, Scotland. Domestic travel, accommodation and meal costs will be covered. Find out more about the challenges and who we’re looking for. Apply by 16 September 👉 https://bit.ly/3Mi7pZj #CRUKDataChallenge

New episode of Behind the Genes out now! In this episode, we discuss the barriers that diverse communities face in accessing genomic healthcare. Our guests explore how language barriers, cultural differences and socioeconomic factors impact acceptance and access to genomic medicine among marginalised communities. They also highlight the importance of educating healthcare professionals to communicate in culturally sensitive ways, and strategies that have been effective in fostering trust and engaging communities in genomic research and healthcare initiatives.
