Collaborations and consortia

We join with institutions and scientists the world over to address foundational challenges in science and health.

Scientific progress today requires data and collaboration on a massive scale. Our researchers engage with partners around the globe to pursue projects that are larger than any one institution could successfully complete alone, and which convene the best minds in science to solve fundamental problems.

All of Us is gathering and analyzing health data from one million or more people living in the United States.

AVE is propelling systematic measurement of variant impact on functional elements of human and pathogen genomes.

BRaVa is a collaborative effort between 16 biobanks and cohorts from across the globe to analyse rare genetic variation.

The NCI- and NHGRI-funded TCGA molecularly characterized over 20,000 primary cancer and matched normal samples spanning 33 cancer types.

CISID takes on ambitious questions in infectious disease research to broadly transform the diagnosis, treatment, and management of infection.

An international consortium studying the genetic determinants of COVID-19 susceptibility, severity, and outcomes.

The DMC brings the ӳ��ý and industry partners to work together to create resources to accelerate the pace of precision cancer medicine.
