About Us

ICGA Foundation is a not-for-profit, public-private-philanthropic partnership set up as a Section 8 Company to host the 

Indian Cancer Genome Atlas (ICGA) Project.

In 2020-21, ICGA was initiated by forming a national consortium of government agencies, cancer hospitals, academic institutions, and private sector partners in India, led by the Council of Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR). 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.
