The project’s objective is to establish information system and implement standards for the storage and exchange of genetic data, considering technical and data protection aspects. The Registry will be accessible to scientific and health institutions, and the data will be utilized for research and development in biotechnology, bioinformatics, bioeconomy, genetics, and medicine.

This project involves analysis of the complete genetic material of 1000 volunteers. The data obtained from the whole exome/genome analysis will be used to examine the influence of genetic characteristics on the development of chronic diseases and hereditary disorders leading to physical malformations. Additionally, it will focus on interpreting hereditary components associated with the risk of cardiovascular and malignant diseases.

We are collaborating with the Institute of Molecular Genetics and Genetic Engineering (IMGGE) on a project dedicated to NSCLC (Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer) research. Our contribution includes providing the necessary IT infrastructure resources for the storage of clinical and genetic data, as well as supporting coordination and communication among participants.

To educate and raise awareness among the broader population about the importance of applying genetics in healthcare and science, we are conducting a survey to gauge the opinions and knowledge of Serbian citizens regarding genetics, genetic research, and genetic testing.

Through all our activities and projects, we strive to strengthen the bioinformatics community. Our efforts have led to the establishment of the Genomics Section within BIRBI and the upcoming launch of the Genetic and Biomedical Data Registry. Moreover, we are introducing an official educational program in this area.
