Overview
Leveraging the expertise of the genetics community builds capacity in our members through collaborative engagement. Genetic Alliance is at the crossroads of the genetics community we provide a rich nexus of advocacy and community organizations, government, industry, and private entities. These interactions accelerate translational research; improve the climate for the development of technologies; encourage cohorts for clinical trials; increase the availability of linked, annotated biological resources; and ultimately lead to improved human health. Informed consumers, advocacy groups, and community organizations create a demand that is met by genomics technologies, tests, and treatments thus creating a favorable business climate for the early adoption of new products that result from academia, biotechnology, and pharmaceutical organizations. In our central position in the genetics community, we are able to empower individuals and advocacy organizations to help better the lives of their constituents: individuals and families living with genetic conditions.
