Welcome to GENEPICA

We are a non-profit organisation working to advance health genomics for underrepresented populations.

“

The global majority make up the minority in genomic databases. This gap has significant implications for both scientific understanding and care that people receive.”

Almost 90% of human genome data come from individuals of European descent*.

Diagnostics and treatments developed from this data often do not work as well for other populations.
