TGen, a Genomic First Responder, ramps up testing against the COVID-19 coronavirus

(The Translational Genomics Research Institute) Since mid-January, the Translational Genomics Research Institute (TGen) has joined the world-wide effort to test for the SARS-CoV-2 virus causing the COVID-19 disease. Acting as Genomic First Responders, TGen, an affiliate of City of Hope, is using advanced biomedical technologies to study this disease while also working to help establish a statewide tracking network for COVID-19 for determining how widespread COVID-19 is within Arizona, and identifying emerging hotspots as they occur.
