Genomics Services Aiming at Translation into Clinical Use  

The synergy of technological and clinical expertise drives progress towards clinical applications including solid tumors, hematological malignancies, rare diseases and microbial diseases and surveillance. The Clinical Genomics platform offers expertise, method development and end-to-end services, facilitating translational research and precision diagnostics. Some of our services are:

• Consultation in project and target capture design, and data analyses
• Sample management 
  • Tissue processing
  • Resistance typing
• QC of samples for various analyses 
  • Sequencing data
  • Genomic DNA/RNA
• Sequencing (short/long read)
  • DNA sequencing 
    • Whole genome sequencing (WGS)
    • Whole exome sequencing (WES)
    • Panels
    • Ultra-deep sequencing
    • microbial genomes
    • metagenomics
  • RNA sequencing 
    • total RNA
    • mRNA
    • single cell
• Other molecular technologies 
  • Array-based analyses
  • Digital droplet PCR
  • Optical genome mapping
• Custom bioinformatic analyses
• Clinical interpretation of variants
• Training

Project prioritization: The platform provides service for clinical and translational research, either on a first-come first-served basis, or prioritized based on clinical need. Collaborative development projects are prioritized based on the expected importance of the development work for future research service projects or healthcare applications.

User fee models: Academic users benefit from a subsidized cost. Cost models are based on a cost per sample, on reagent costs, and/or on hourly fees for experimental work and bioinformatics. Collaborative projects can be further subsidized or covered by joint grants. For industry and healthcare users, we apply a full-cost model.
