Human Genomic Research Integration

Cel

The morbidity and mortality statistics of the Hungarian population are among the worst in Europe and it is assumed that genetic as well as epigenetic factors play a significant role in this phenomenon. Genomic research is very likely to provide a new framework to approach this problem. However, Hungarian genomic research is in its infancy, rather fragmented and unfocused. The main objective of the present project proposal is to obtain specific support for changing this unfortunate situation. A consortium of Genomic Research for Human Health in Hungary has been formed which starts to organize genomic research within this action by pulling together all related activities in the country and providing an umbrella for medically-oriented genomic research. It will survey how human genomic research is organized in various European countries, what their objectives and approaches are and the information obtained will be utilized to shape Hungarian genomic research.

Strategic initiatives will be announced and specific genomic research projects will be recommended to key stakeholders of the Hungarian health care and biomedical research organizations. Special attention will be given to establish a very effective system of bioinformatics for the various laboratories, institutions and for the public. A well-regulated biobanking system will be introduced. Studies will be carried out for the clarification of ethical and legal aspects of genomic research in the country. The formation of a network of small and medium-sized enterprises will be initiated to utilize the results of genomic research in the biotechnological industry. A COGENE conference will be organized to facilitate further integration of genomic research in Europe including the joining of Hungary to the main trends and to provide a forum for new topics and developments of genomic research in general.
