India’s cancer genomics community, working as one.
The ICGA Network brings together the hospitals, universities, research institutes, technology companies, foundations and individual experts who make India’s national cancer genome atlas possible. Modelled on the structure of The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) Research Network, it connects those who provide patient samples, those who generate and analyse molecular data, and those who guide the science, so that every ICGA study draws on the full strength of the country’s cancer community.
