Center of Excellence in Genomic Medicine Research

About the Center

The Center of Excellence in Genomic Medicine Research is an advanced research facility established in 1428 AH, dedicated to advancing scientific research in the fields of human genomics and medical genetics. The Center aims to utilize state-of-the-art genomic analysis technologies to understand genetic diseases, genetic mutations, and their impact on human health. Through in-depth scientific research, the Center contributes to the development of diagnostic and therapeutic solutions for genetic diseases and raises scientific awareness regarding the importance of genetic testing and personalized medicine in disease treatment and prevention. The Center employs advanced techniques—such as whole-genome sequencing—to study genetic mutations and analyze genes associated with genetic diseases within the Saudi population. In collaboration with hospitals and medical centers, the Center analyzes human samples and provides genetic counseling services. It also contributes to the development of gene therapy and personalized medicine based on human genomics and offers specialized training programs for students and researchers in this rapidly evolving field.
