About Us
Setting up of TCGA has brought about a paradigm shift in the way “research services” can be operated without losing focus on “discovery”.  Since its inception TCGA has undertaken projects from design to data analysis apart from offering highly flexible service packages that are tailored to meet customer needs.

Providing enabling infrastructure
The Centre for Genomic Applications (TCGA) is a multipurpose national facility set up as a public private partnership which aims to provide affordable high end research infrastructure and services to R & D laboratories in private and public sectors and the scientific community .TCGA has aimed to liberate scientists from mundane operational activities of managing research facilities by providing such sevices on a "fee for service" basis.

Leveraging the network
TCGA has forged relationships with key domestic and international institutions. Due to its unique lineage, it is able to draw on resources / competencies from across the globe, which has led to cutting down the research time and costs, critical to positioning India as a key global player in life sciences research.
