The Research Group
The Center for Translational Genomics (CTG) is a prioritized research infrastructure at the Faculty of Medicine, Lund University, part of the Clinical Genomics platform at SciLifeLab. The platform aims to offer translational and clinical researchers access to state-of-the-art methods in genomics and transcriptomics (e.g. WGS, RNA-seq and new single cell analyses) and to quickly translate new research findings into improved clinical utility in close collaboration with the regional healthcare. Locally, this is performed through close interactions with the Section for Molecular Diagnostics at Region Skåne. Within CTG, there is great expertise in Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) technologies, bioinformatics and several different disease areas, and seen from both a national and international perspective, the unit is at the technological forefront with access to very powerful sequencing instruments (e.g.Illumina NovaSeq 6000). For data processing, the center uses a dedicated high-performance computing cluster at Lund University.
At the national level, CTG and Clinical Genomics Lund are also involved in a Swedish initiative for precision medicine; Genomic Medicine Sweden, where the development of new methods for tomorrow's research and diagnostics is coordinated with the corresponding large-scale sequencing facilities at the country's other university hospitals.
