ABOUT Iranian Reference Genome Project

Advancing Healthcare for Iranians

The Iranian Genome Project (Gemiran) is dedicated to improving Iranians' health through genomics. We are a team of passionate researchers working to create a valuable resource - a high-quality Iranian reference genome.

Our Mission

  • Empowering Personalized Medicine: Understanding the Iranian genome is key to developing personalized medicine approaches. This means tailoring healthcare to an individual's unique genetic makeup, leading to better diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of diseases.
  • Building a Foundation for the Future: By establishing a comprehensive Iranian reference genome, we are laying the groundwork for a more individualized healthcare system in Iran.

    • Our Projects

    Imagine a detailed map of the Iranian genetic landscape. This is what we're creating! We are analyzing the genomes of a carefully selected group of Iranians from diverse ethnicities. This ensures our reference genome accurately reflects the Iranian population.
    Why is this important?
  • A Powerful Tool for Research and Development: The Iranian reference genome will be a game-changer for researchers and medical professionals. It will enable them to study diseases with greater precision, identify genetic risk factors, and develop more effective treatments tailored to individual needs.

  • Reducing Bias for Accurate Results: Selecting an unbiased sample is crucial. We utilize advanced techniques (like ChIPtyping) to ensure our participants are not genetically related within the study, leading to more reliable findings.

    • Looking Ahead

    The Iranian Genome Project is paving the way for a future where vast genomic data sets are used to revolutionize healthcare in Iran. Our work holds the potential to improve the lives of countless individuals by offering a more personalized approach to health and wellness.
