How we work

GHGA is part of the NFDI e.V. and is funded by the DFG. We are closely integrated with both national and international infrastructures and initiatives, such as GDI, EGA, GA4GH, and the model project GenomSeq.

As a national initiative created by researchers for researchers, GHGA brings together expertise from over 20 leading institutions in genomic medicine, major omics data producers (including four DFG Sequencing Centres), and high-performance computing (HPC) centres. These institutions are dedicated to providing scalable infrastructure for genomic research.

Our infrastructure is managed in a federated manner and organised into data hubs located across Germany.
