GHGA is entering an exciting new chapter with a refreshed Board of Directors, welcoming new members alongside returning leaders to guide the consortium forward.

NFDI BioMed consortia met in Cologne to strengthen collaboration and develop shared approaches for training, services, metadata, and communication for their joint communities.

This Advent is getting scientific: each day brings a new letter and a new genetics aha-moment! ‘ABC of Genetics,’ from December 1st to 24th.

The TU Dresden Data Hub is now operational, joining Heidelberg, Tübingen, and Berlin in GHGA’s federated network. Its first dataset is now accessible via the GHGA Data Portal.

“How can progress be achieved together?” At two events in September, GHGA discussed this question with patients and caregivers suffering from rare diseases and cancer. The consensus was that shared data forms the basis for innovation in care and research.

Strengthening its development into a robust, sustainable data infrastructure, GHGA is set to expand services, grow its community, and secure long-term integration within the German research system.

As Germany’s national node in the European Genomic Data Infrastructure (GDI) project, we have taken part in a successful proof-of-concept. The demonstration showed how large-scale genomic research can be carried out securely across Europe.

Join the new de.NBI & ELIXIR-DE and GHGA Knowledge Series "Empowering Research: Practical Bioinformatics and Data Management" starting in October 2025.

The Berlin Data Hub, jointly run by the MDC and the BIH at Charité, is operational after completing its first data submission. GHGA datasets are now hosted across three locations in Germany, all accessible via the GHGA Data Portal.

Solve-RD's collaborative “Solvathons” show how structured data reanalysis and joint interpretation can drive diagnosis and how GHGA tools help enable secure, scalable workflows.

First genome data successfully transferred to genome data centers operated by GHGA data hubs —marking a key step toward a secure, decentralised infrastructure for personalised diagnostics and research. (link to German press release by BfArM)

We are excited to announce that the new e-learning platform for ASSURED training is being tested by experts from the research community!
