Since 2008


OUR GENOMIC RESEARCH

Since opening its doors in 2008, HudsonAlpha has further secured its role as a
global leader in biotechnology and genomic research. We’ve made discoveries in
ALS, childhood genetic disorders and kidney cancer; expanded research in bipolar
and schizophrenia and continued critical research in other devastating
conditions, including cancer, Parkinson’s, lupus, multiple sclerosis and more.

Our agriscience team specializes in applying genomic techniques to understand
how plants function in response to environmental stimuli. The HudsonAlpha Genome
Sequencing Center is a global leader in providing de novo whole genome
sequencing, assembly and analysis.




VISION

 * > To leverage the synergy between discovery, education, medicine, and
   > economic development in genomic sciences to improve the human condition
   > around the globe.
