Our platforms, technologies, and scientists unite global communities to create and deploy data-driven, life-saving treatments and innovative environmental and conservation efforts. We openly and responsibly share what we learn and create.

Unlocking the world’s genomic information to drive targeted treatment of diseases

What if doctors could employ intelligent diagnostics and cure people more quickly? What if we could understand the genetic underpinnings of cancer, diabetes, heart disease, and mental health?

The UC Santa Cruz Genomics Institute is empowering scientists all over the world to answer these questions and more.

We are bold and unconventional. We thrive in being audacious and asking the hard questions.
