News
Strong physician interest in genetic testing – but knowledge gaps are slowing progress
Genomic analyses, including studies of the entire genome, are being used increasingly in healthcare, but knowledge and preparedness are not keeping pace. A study involving more than 100 physicians from different specialties shows that only a minority feel sufficiently...
Global commission to pave the way for equal precision health
A new Lancet Commission on Precision Health has been launched to develop a comprehensive framework for integrating precision approaches into health systems worldwide. Researchers from Karolinska Institutet, Lund university and Genomic Medicine Sweden are contributing...
Sweden’s regions surpass 500,000 completed genomic analyses – national coordination drives precision diagnostics forward
More than half a million genomics-based analyses have now been performed in routine healthcare in Sweden. This milestone represents a major breakthrough for precision diagnostics and highlights the results of nearly a decade of national collaboration to make advanced...
Sweden’s ambitious national collaboration for genomic medicine
Our strategic mission is to foster collaboration between healthcare providers, academia, patient organizations and industry and realize precision medicine by effectively utilizing the rapidly advancing sequencing technologies to provide the highest standards of genomic testing in routine clinical care throughout Sweden.
Healthcare
A close collaboration between healthcare and academia is central in introducing new forms of diagnostics as the basis for an individualized choice of treatment.
Patients & next of kin
Participation and knowledge from patients and next of kin representatives is crucial for GMS to be able to introduce precision medicine in health care based on the individual’s needs.
Industry
Through an active collaboration with industry, GMS will develop and provide tomorrow´s solutions for the diagnostics and treatment of various diseases.
Academia
GMS forms a strong basis for researchers to better understand why disease arises and how new forms of treatment can be developed.
Regional centers
Seven regional centers are the GMS engine
GMS is comprised of seven regional Genomic Medicine Centers (GMC). These joint centers act as the primary point of contact for sequencing patient samples within healthcare, thereby creating an integrated platform for both healthcare delivery and advanced medical research. Each GMC is a collaboration between a region with university hospital care, a university with a faculty of medicine, and SciLifeLab.
