Genomics Medicine Ireland
Genomics Medicine Ireland (GMI) was founded in 2015 to mine Irish genetic and medical data. Our genetic code makes us who we are. Modern technology has now advanced to a point where we can trace many of our attributes back to our genes. This mapping is incredibly powerful, helping to identify with great accuracy who we are and where we came from. This is known as whole genome sequencing (WGS) and enables us to relate many medical conditions to genetic factors. GMI hopes to turn the tide on this growth by uncovering the underlying genetics factors related to diabetes in order to help diagnose and better treat diabetes in the future.
