Belgian medical genomics initiative (BeMGI).

The aim of the BeMGI project is to establish a vibrant network devoted to medical genomics, including Belgian top scientists active in the field of human genetics, in order to:(i) boost individual research efforts towards understanding the biology of disease by promoting collaborative exploitation of the most advanced genomic tools.(ii) develop approaches to predict clinical outcome from genomic information and fulfil a pilot role towards concerted integration of genomic information in clinical care in Belgium.(iii) play a catalyzing role in preparing the next generation of genomics researchers, informing medical practitioners about evolving trends in medical genomics, and conducting public outreach.
