Own equipment, the best experts and the development of new research techniques, from genomics, through proteomics to metabolomics – these are the main assumptions of the Omics Research Centre being established at the Medical University of Wrocław (UMW). It will be a separate unit (independent of departments, faculties or clinics), supporting all scientists and clinicians at the university in conducting advanced research. 

“It is an investment from the university’s own funds, of fundamental importance to all of us, and is part of the UMW strategy”, says UMW rector Professor Piotr Ponikowski. 

The cost of equipping the centre with the necessary apparatus is nearly PLN 16 million. It will be the best equipment in the world, serving both science and diagnostics. The centre is intended to support other UMW units. There is no other such centre in Poland which takes a holistic approach to omics and has such a huge patient base as the one at the University Clinical Hospital.
