Translational Genomics Laboratory
Mission
The mission of the TranslationalGenomics Laboratory (TGL) is to provide a critical bridge to help accelerate translation from discovery into precision health care, by providing DNA sequencing, genotyping and array-based technologies in both a basic research and clinically-regulated environment.
About the TGL
The Translational Genomics Laboratory (TGL) is the result of 35 years of core facility evolution, starting with peptide and oligonucleotide synthesis, to the current CAP (College of American Pathologists) accredited and CLIA (Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments) compliant laboratory, capable of providing support to clinical and translational genetic/genomics studies (CAP# 8017554; CLIA# 21D2027356).
TGL is part of the University of Maryland School of Medicine’s Marlene and Stewart Greenebaum Comprehensive Cancer Center (UMGCC), the Program for Personalized and Genomic Medicine (PPGM), and the Center for Innovative Biomedical Resources (CIBR).
The services offered by the TGL support basic research. The clinical assays offered are similar to those offered to support basic research, except that these assays are validated under CLIA, enabling them to be used in the clinical decision-making process in research protocols and for routine patient care.
