ICGA’s mission is to create an indigenously developed, openly accessible, comprehensive multi-omics database of cancers prevalent in the Indian population, with clinical correlates.
In 2020-21, ICGA was initiated by forming a national consortium of government agencies, cancer hospitals, academic institutions, and private sector partners in India. The ICGA is a long-term collaborative effort between cancer scientists, basic researchers, onco-clinicians, data scientists, and technology providers to facilitate precision medicine and improve translational cancer research in India.
ICGA Foundation is seeking active participation from leading clinical, research, and technology institutions from public and private sector in India as well as from leading international institutions involved in cutting-edge translational cancer research.
