Genomic Research
HudsonAlpha scientists are adding to the world’s body of knowledge about the basis of life, health, disease and biodiversity and seeking to enable:
● Earlier and/or less invasive diagnostics ● Better, more customized treatments for disease ● Improved food, fiber and energy sources
Significant Research Publications
Current research focus areas are: Foundational Research
Plant Genetics Applying genomic knowledge to improve the quality and sustainability of our food, fiber, and fuel production, and our environment's health.
Human Health Leveraging the power of the human genome to diagnose, predict and prevent disease as well as helping others incorpo- rate genomics into practice
Research that improves the understanding of biological phenomena. Includes studies of natural variation, principles of bioethics, and computational biology and bioinformatics
Our researchers have authored more than 1,100 scientific publications since HudsonAlpha opened in 2008 to help secure a global leadership position in genomic research.
