Background

The Capital Region of Denmark is the easternmost administrative region of Denmark with a population of 1.8 million. The vision for personalized medicine in Eastern Denmark is to improve the quality of citizens' treatment through the implementation of personalized medicine in patient care in Eastern Denmark and to establish the best framework for the further research and development of personalized medicine.

With this in mind the Capital Region, the Zealand Region, the University of Copenhagen SUND and the Technical University of Denmark have joined forces to establish an infrastructure consisting of three common centres: Data Center East,  Biobank Center East and Genome Center East.
