The Vanderbilt Genetics Institute (VGI) at Vanderbilt University School of Medicine was established to foster scientific interactions at the clinical, molecular, and analytical levels by providing state-of-the-art resources to Vanderbilt scientists involved in genetic and genomic research. VGI is headed by Professor, Nancy Cox, who is the Mary Phillips Edmonds Gray Professor of Genetics. VGI is uniquely positioned to enable translational discoveries due to the enormous university-wide investments in biomedical informatics and precision medicine. These investments are exemplified by BioVU, a biobank of genetic material containing over 285K patient samples with whole-genome sequencing data, and Vanderbilt’s lead role in the President’s Precision Medicine Initiative and now All-of-US.
