PHGFoundation

PHG Foundation is a linked exempt charity of the University of Cambridge.
==History==
The PHG Foundation was originally founded as the Public Health Genomics Unit (PHGU) in 1997 by Dr. Ron Zimmern, who is now the Foundation's Chair of Trustees. The PHGU was established in response to the growing recognition of the potential of genomics to improve health. At the time, the Human Genome Project was nearing completion.
The PHGU's mission was to "make science work for health" by using genomics to improve public health. The PHGU's work focused on three main areas, which were research and analysis on the potential of genomics to improve health, development of models and capacities for translation of genomic research into practice, and expert advice and support to policy makers, health professionals, and the public on genomics-related issues.
In 2007, the PHGU was transformed into the PHG Foundation, which would be a charitable organization. It has continued the PHGU's work, and has expanded its focus to include the development of new genomic technologies and the implications of genomics.
