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.
