The 100,000 Genomes Project - Prof. A.Schuh

Professor Anna Schuh, Director of the Oxford NHS Genomic Medicine Centre and Associate Professor of Molecular Diagnostics for the University of Oxford's Department of Oncology, on Oxford’s role in the national 100,000 Genomes Project, a project to unravel the genetic changes underlying rare disease and cancers.

The project will aid research, improve diagnosis and ultimately clinical outcomes so NHS patients can receive care based on cutting edge scientific techniques. Eligible patients with rare diseases and cancers are being invited to provide health data and blood and tissue samples for whole genome sequencing, where a complete set of a person's genes is decoded.
