About
The new YORK genome center (NYGC) is an independent NON-profit scientific research institution dedicated to collaborative genetic and genomic research. NYGC's mission is to advance genomic science, and through its application, to drive novel biomedical discoveries. NYGC's areas of focus include the development of computational and experimental genomic methods and disease-focused research to better understand the genetic basis of cancer, neurodegenerative disease and neuropsychiatric disease. The NYGC team, LED by evnin family scientific director and CEO TOM maniatis, PHD, includes associate and CORE faculty members who hold joint appointments at leading academic institutions. The center brings together outstanding thought leaders from eleven institutional founding members, SIX associate member institutions, and 87 affiliate scientific members to engage in collaborative research. Convening talent and expertise from multiple TOP-TIER scientific and medical institutions in the new YORK AREA and beyond, we have created a highly collaborative scientific ecosystem and community resource that is more than the SUM of its parts. NYGC also provides researchers with access to state-of-the-art genomic infrastructure (e.g., computer hardware and software, sequencing instruments) and technology innovation and expertise. NYGC has the following key objectives: (i) leading and contributing to intellectually vibrant research collaborations in the academic and scientific community in new YORK city, across the country and around the world. (II) recruiting and retaining diverse world-class scientific talent to lead the organization's research and technology development programs; (III) supporting research conducted by the institutional founding members, other academic, research and medical institutions and the biotechnology/pharmaceutical industry to advance NYGC's scientific research mission; (IV) developing innovative experimental and computational genomic methods based UPON the research and sequencing activities conducted at the organization's facility, for the broader benefit of the research community; (v) improving human health through genomic research that drives novel biomedical discoveries; (VI) striving to maximize the benefits of our research and innovation for diverse communities; (VII) providing training to the academic, research and technology communities; (VIII) creating a workplace environment that is welcoming and fair to ALL regardless of race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, physical disability, AGE, or religion, and (IX) conducting activities ancillary to these objectives. NYGC strives to champion diversity, equity, and inclusion in its workplace and in the application of its research to clinical care. A fundamental goal of the genome center is addressing the LACK of diversity within data, samples, and subjects in genomics research. NYGC is also committed to diversity on the center's board of directors and within its faculty, staff, and scientific researchers.
