What is GDI?
The Genomic Data Infrastructure (GDI) project is enabling access to genomic and related phenotypic and clinical data across Europe. It is doing this by establishing a federated, sustainable and secure infrastructure to access the data. It builds on the outputs of the Beyond 1 Million Genomes (B1MG) project and is realising the ambition of the 1+Million Genomes (1+MG) initiative. The GDI project brings together experts in life science, medicine, computer science, ethics, and law.
Why GDI?
GDI project aims to enable access to genomic and related phenotypic and clinical data to improve research, policymaking and healthcare across Europe. GDI wants to unlock a data network of over one million genome sequences for research and clinical reference. This will create new opportunities for transnational and multi-stakeholder actions in personalised medicine for cancer, common, rare and infectious diseases as well as access to a reference genome collection representing the European population (Genome of Europe).
