Turning Hope Into Reality—Genomics Research at the VA.

VA's Office of Research and Development is at the forefront of developing safer, more effective treatments based on new knowledge about the role of genes in health and disease. VA is superbly fitted to study genomics—the use of patients' individual genetic profiles to customize care—because of its genomics laboratory; large and diverse patient population; world-class investigators; an integrated network of basic research and clinical application; and an unequaled electronic medical record system that will in time incorporate genetic information.
