Established in 2002, the aim is to bring new technologies into diagnostic genetics services to the benefit of NHS patients. The team seeks to:

• Promote and take forward the development of genetic laboratory science in the NHS
• Act as a dedicated resource to support molecular and cytogenetics communities

Funded by the Department of Health, the work programme includes informatics, technology assessment and quality assurance.
