The Department of Genetics is pleased to announce the newly integrated

Penn Genomic and Sequencing Core (PGSC) at the Perelman School of Medicine. The PGSC is an integrated core facility responsible for running three laboratories historically specializing in genomic services: DNA Sequencing, Next-Generation Sequencing, and Molecular Profiling. The PGSC is a formal merger of the Penn Genomic Analysis Core (PGAC) and the Next-Generation Sequencing Core (NGSC) under the overall direction of Dr. Tapan Ganguly and the technical direction of Dr. Jonathan Schug. This merger facilitates synergy between these facilities with economies of scale and practical use of technical and administrative support. With a single nucleic acid sequencing core facility on campus, the PGSC will provide full-service nucleic acid sequencing and other genomic services with enhanced staff and equipment utilization. Services will continue to be offered throughout the Perelman School of Medicine campus in Stellar-Chance, John Morgan, and the Smilow Center for Translational Research.
