Supporting our Mission

The Harvard Medical School - Partners Healthcare Center for Genetics and Genomics is helping to write the next chapter in the history of medicine.

Our distinguishing features - extraordinary intellectual assets, solid infrastructure and a wide programmatic scope -set us apart from other genetics centers and offer the greatest potential for realizing gene-based medicine. The nearly 2 million patients treated annually in the Partners HealthCare System, led by its flagship institutions, Massachusetts General Hospital and Brigham and Women's Hospital, offer an unparalleled patient population to benefit from the Center's clinical activities.

For those who suffer from cancer, heart disease, neurological diseases and myriad other serious illnesses, HPCGG will offer new opportunities for finely-tuned diagnoses and more effective, targeted therapies with fewer side effects. At the same time, the possibilities for pioneering breakthroughs in our understanding of the origin and progression of common diseases and in developing new means of prevention for these illnesses is very real.

The challenge ahead is daunting. Over the next 5 years we need to raise $75 million needs from individuals, corporations and foundation to help recruit additional faculty, build upon the Center's infrastructure and underwrite the Center's growing programs.

Your charitable donation will help us to realize the full potential of our work and to stay at the forefront of medicine. If you are interested in learning more about ways in which you can help, please contact:
