InGeNA

About us

Established in 2020, the Industry Genomics Network Alliance (InGeNA) is:

– An alliance between a broad group of industry organisations, formed to bring a shared perspective on critically important areas underpinning the future of genomics and the promise of personalised health
– A single voice for Australian industry partners contributing to the rapidly developing field of genomics
– A shared vision for Australia’s leadership in the adoption of genomics in healthcare

We, InGeNA believe that:

  1. Genomics has the potential to be a game changer for personalised healthcare
  2. Widespread genomics adoption, including in prediction and prevention, will lead to a better quality of life for all Australians and a more sustainable health system
  3. Every Australian should have access to the emerging benefits of personalised healthcare

InGeNA the industry voice for the future of genomics in Australia

Latest webinar

Careers in diagnostic genomics: Diverse pathways & experiences

Streamed Thursday 7 September 2023

In this joint webinar with Melbourne Genomics, we heard from three people working at the interface of genomics and bioinformatics. Each has different qualifications and career pathways but all contribute to the implementation of genomics into healthcare.

They also briefly outlined some of the Melbourne Genomics education programs available in clinical variant interpretation.

What we do

InGeNA was formed by a group of industry organisations, hosted by the Australasian Institute of Digital Health (AIDH), to bring a shared perspective on critically important areas underpinning the future of genomics.

  • A patient-centred approach
  • Digital infrastructure & principles
  • Workforce planning & skills
  • Government policy making

Upcoming events

You don’t need to be a member to attend InGeNA events. We bring the genomics community together for webinars and in-person appearances to learn about advances in the field, new trends and global developments.

Strategy

The time is now.

Realising the full potential of genomics to personalise healthcare is a compelling vision, but now the real work begins in how to implement it. 

InGeNA was established to help bring the vision of precision health to fruition, where Australian citizens are the beneficiaries of a health system that has fully integrated genomics into its DNA, delivering better outcomes for patients and the population.
