The Faculty Board has decided to establish a new unit, the Genome Medicine Center (GMC Väst), within Core Facilities. Sahlgrenska Academy establishes the center in collaboration with the Sahlgrenska University Hospital’s unit for Clinical Genetics and Genomics (verksamhetsområdet för klinisk genetik och genomik, KGG). GMC Väst is Gothenburg’s local node in the national initiative Genome Medicine Sweden (GMS), which was established in collaboration between all medical faculties in Sweden with the support of Vinnova and SciLifeLab last year.
