The National University Health System has established the National University Centre for Genomic Medicine to expand the use of genomics in clinical care and increase testing capabilities.

• Service Scope: Genomic testing is being extended beyond rare conditions to areas such as oncology, cardiology, and preventive care.
• Pharmacogenomics: Genetic information is used to guide medication selection and dosing to support safer prescribing.
• Infrastructure: The centre includes an in-house genomics laboratory to support testing capacity and research into complex or undiagnosed cases.
