It is the goal of the Ecuadorian Genetics and Genomics Network (ReGG) to foster interaction and stimulate research specifically around genetics and genomics nationally that benefits basic and applied science producing new knowledge, technology for the country’s needs and applications ranging from agriculture to medicine. The network will establish a national consensus and open forum for the Ecuadorian genetics and genomics research community that will advise on research and policy priorities and could develop into a broader Latin American effort in due time contributing especially to the Andean region and beyond.
Specific Aims
1. To document the state of genetics and genomics in Ecuador,
2. To advance knowledge in the fields of genetics and genomics and its applications in Ecuador,
3. To share equipment, technology and expertise among active genetics and genomics researchers in Ecuador,
4. To exchange new ideas and foster collaboration especially in an interdisciplinary setting,
5. To hold an annual scientific national meeting to share ideas, exchange experiences within Ecuador and with international participants,
6. To develop relevant links to other relevant organizations nationally and internationally,
7. To explore offering professional genetics and genomics training courses,
8. To develop joint grants supporting research centered around genetics and genomics.
