We are building a secure national omics data infrastructure, enabling the use of human genome data for research purposes while preventing data misuse.
The genome data collected within the MV GenomSeq is archived in GHGA and, with the patient's consent, made available for research.
Omics data have the potential to revolutionise health care. Here we show how GHGA is an integral part of this process.
GHGA has developed a robust and appropriate legal and data protection structure.
We congratulate Professor Eva C. Winkler, a member of our Board of Directors and lead of the GHGA ELSI work stream, on her prestigious new role in the German Ethics Council (Ethikrat)! Read more on the NCT website.

Learn moreGHGA 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 model project.
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.
