NCI is now one of the 6 HuGENet Coordinating Centers
The Human Genome Epidemiology Network, or HuGENet
™, is a global collaboration of individuals and organizations committed to the assessment of the impact of human genome variation on population health and how genetic information can be used to improve health and prevent disease.
