Cambridge Genomics Laboratory

Cambridge University Hospitals Genomics Laboratory is the lead organisation for the East NHS Genomic Laboratory Hub. They work together with Nottingham University Hospitals and University Hospitals of Leicester to deliver high quality genomic testing for all patients with rare disease and cancer across the East.

• Diagnose genetic disorders - in the clinic and using lab tests.
• Counsel individuals and families - for example, offering risk assessments for patients who have a family history of an inherited disorder or familial cancer syndrome.
• Research the causes of birth defects and genetic diseases.
• Educate health care professionals about genetics.

The service is provided by an integrated team of doctors, genetic counsellors and laboratory scientists, who are supported by secretarial and administrative staff.
