Population Genomics & Cancer Epidemiology
Indian cancer genomics is under-represented in global datasets. This centre addresses that directly.
What this centre does
Much of the evidence guiding treatment in India was built on populations that do not look like Indian patients. This centre works on population-scale cancer genomics, India-specific variation, and the epidemiology of the cancers that carry the greatest burden here.
Genomic data via OnKommon
Methods
Population-scale variant analysis; ancestry and population structure; epidemiological study design; screening-strategy modelling; registry analysis.
Data inputs
Consented genomic data (via OnKommon); registry and epidemiological data; public population datasets.
Outputs
India-specific variant and interpretation evidence; screening-strategy recommendations; publications with national policy relevance.
Funding route
Population genomics and public-health grants; government tenders on screening and registries — the best tender fit of all twelve centres.
What has to be true first
Consented cohort accumulation and registry participation.
