ABOUT US

Nordic Society of Human Genetics and Precision Medicine

MISSION AND BACKGROUND

The Nordic Society of Human Genetics and Precision Medicine (NSHG-PM) was created in order to: 

  • establish a Nordic framework for research into the genetics of human diseases, as well as into human evolution and population history;
  • accelerate discovery of disease susceptibility genes and genes protecting from disease through integrated analyses using multiple large-scale datasets and a range of experimental designs;
  • translate these findings so that they can be used for precision medicine to improve public health;
  • and uphold and promote the highest legal, regulatory, social, and ethical standards.

    We will do this by working with pertinent experts and other stakeholders at local, national and regional levels.
