We need your help

While research efforts have elucidated the molecular mechanisms underlying many diseases, such as cancer, there has been less success in translating those findings into a concrete diagnostic and therapeutic reality. Using virtual 'patient' technology, there is now the possibility to focus therapeutic strategy and target the right patient with the right drug or combination of drugs. Using such an approach we have the potential to:

                          dramatically improve disease prognosis

                           diminish side effects of ineffective treatments

                                   significantly improve patient quality of life

                                                save lives

We fund our research through competitive research funding bids and collaborations; however, we are appealing for donations (large or small) from interested parties who would like to share our vision and help us reach our goals.

Donations can be given directly to DCGMS or through the 'Lehrach Foundation for Genome Research', a charitable foundation focused on the promotion of scientific research in the field of genome analysis and related areas, as well as development and application of associated technologies.
