AGHI
The Alabama Genomic Health Initiative (AGHI) is a partnership between HudsonAlpha and UAB-Medicine to provide genomic testing, interpretation, and counseling free of charge to residents in each of Alabama’s 67 counties. The AGHI also includes a major focus on research, through which data from test results will be used to advance scientific understanding of the role that genes play in health and disease.
