The Genomic Information Commons (GIC) at Washington University is a member of a research initiative spanning multiple academic medical centers. The GIC champions multi-institutional research collaboration through sharing select types of our consented patients’ health data in order to achieve improved health outcomes for our patients, families and communities.


Developed with you in mind

Working together with multiple institutions across the nation, the more readily research discoveries are made, offering opportunities for our patients, families, and community as a whole.

A shared vision…

Researchers and clinicians at member institutions have access to the combined patient population, which is continuously updating and available to query in aggregate view.
