About CpG

The focus of ‘The TCG-ISI Centre for Population Genomics’ (CpG) is genomic research and genomic medicine. It was set up as a ‘public-private-partnership’ in the year 2001 in collaboration with Indian Statistical Institute (ISI) an "Institution of National Importance" in India, having the following objectives:

1. To decipher the genomic architectures of common diseases, including estimation of genotype-environment interactions and  identification of genomic changes.
2. To understand the genetic basis of inter-individual variability in response to drugs and vaccines.
3. To provide training in genomics and genetic epidemiology.
4. To establish CpG as the hub of genetic epidemiological research in India.
5. To partner with other academic and industrial organizations, both in India and abroad, to facilitate the progress of genomics and genomic medicine.

CpG is conducting - along with Research Triangle Institute International (RTI) and Duke University Medical Center, North Carolina, USA, and the National Institute of Cholera and Enteric Diseases (NICED), Kolkata -- a large-scale 5-year international study on infectious diseases funded by the National Institutes of Health (NIH), USA. The aim is to study variability of immune response of individuals to vaccines against specific water-borne infectious pathogens.

Its current research focus is the areas of Cardiovascular Disease (CVD), Immune Response Polymorphisms, Metabolic Diseases, and Other Infectious Diseases.
