Introduction: KOrean Genomics Center

• KOGIC is the UNIST genome center established jointly by UNIST and Ulsan City.
• KOGIC Supports genome-based bio and health-care research, development of technologies
• KOGIC is focused on the commercialization of omics technology

Genome Technology Commercialization Core Technology Center

• KOGIC provides Genomic Information Services. 
• KOGIC has carried out 10,000 Korean Genome Project and we provide the human genome data along with clinical information.

Partnerships: International Collaboration in Genome-based Biomedical Projects

• Co-founded a personalized genomics project, 10,000 Korean Genome Project with George Church Lab at Harvard Medical School
• KOGIC is a part of the  Ulsan Genome Service Industry Regulatory Free Zone with 15 organizations and companies in Korea.

 

Genome Industry Hub: The Hub of the Genome Convergence Business

• KOGIC aims to function as the hub for integrated ICT-Bio-AI Industry of Korea.
• KOGIC aims to build and provide core infrastructure for the genome-based biomedical industry of Korea
• KOGIC aims to utilize omics technology to perform genome-to-aging research and development using killifish animal model.
