History of ShareGenome Organization and NGENI Foundation
ShareGenome Organization
The ShareGenome Organization was founded in 2017 by Dr. Min Seob Lee in San Diego, California. Recognized as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization by the IRS in 2018 (EIN: 82-1473050), ShareGenome was established to promote genomics research and facilitate the collection, analysis, and sharing of genomic and health data. The organization focused on creating a collaborative ecosystem for researchers, clinicians, and individuals, enabling discoveries in precision medicine while adhering to the highest standards of ethical data sharing.
As a tax-deductible nonprofit institute, ShareGenome prioritized public education, accessibility to genomic information, and fostering scientific breakthroughs. Its work has laid the foundation for global collaboration in genomic science and continues to advocate for equitable access to personalized medicine.
NGENI Foundation
Building on the success of ShareGenome, Dr. Min Seob Lee established the NGENI Foundation as an extension and enhancement of his mission. While ShareGenome concentrated on genomics and data sharing, NGENI was created to broaden the scope to include next-generation technologies and their integration into healthcare.
The NGENI Foundation focuses on:
- Precision Medicine: Advancing healthcare through personalized genomics and AI-driven solutions.
- Next-Generation Sciences: Expanding research into cutting-edge technologies that support longevity, wellness, and disease prevention.
- Integrated Research and Development: Bridging genomics, artificial intelligence, and emerging healthcare innovations.
Operating as a division of ShareGenome, the NGENI Foundation consolidates resources and expertise to tackle broader scientific challenges while remaining aligned with ShareGenome's ethos of ethical research and community-focused initiatives.ShareGenome was established to promote genomics research and facilitate the collection, analysis, and sharing of genomic and health data.
