TGen, the Translational Genomics Research Institute, is an affiliate of City of Hope. It is an Arizona-based, nonprofit medical research institute dedicated to conducting groundbreaking research with life-changing results. They work to unravel the genetic components of common and complex diseases, including cancer, neurological disorders, infectious disease, and rare childhood disorders. By identifying treatment options in this manner, TGen believes medicine becomes more rational, more precise, and, well, more personal. TGen has been conducting COVID-19 research recently.
