Who we are

 

With participants from 21 institutions, GHGA is organised in data hubs across Germany.

To be able to steer the consortium towards our ambitious goals and coordinate all activities on various levels, several governing bodies were set in place.

Board of Directors

Coordinated at the German Cancer Research Center (DKFZ), GHGA is headed by an inter-institutional Board of Directors.
