The Genomics Institute is a collaboration between the New York State
Department of Health’s Wadsworth Center and Albany Medical College.
The explosion of genetic sequence information
generated by the human genome project has given scientists a new
direction to study disease development and has opened up the new
field of genomics.
The Genomics Institute is ready to harness the
excitement of the genomic approach, which is the ability to analyze
thousands of genes at one time. Using innovations in high-throughput
biotechnology, scientists at the Genomics Institute will target
complex scientific and medical investigations for new drug development
and exploration of the etiology and diagnosis of disease.
The mission of the Genomics Institute is to promote
research for better health by the discovery of genetic approaches
for the understanding of mammalian development and disease. It is
the Institute's goal to ultimately design new treatment modalitites.
The Genomics Institute has forged research partnerships
in the Albany area with the School of Public Health, Rensselaer
Polytechnic Institute (RPI) and the Ordway Research Institute. Investigators
from these institutes have the opportunity to use advanced instrumentation
and core facilities available at the Genomics Institute. These partnerships
have promoted intercollegial relationships among area scientists
and have encouraged joint ventures and collaborations between institutions
and the Genomics Institute.
