What We Do

The Innovative Genomics Institute envisions a world in which genome-engineering innovations benefit humanity and are accessible to all. Our scientists have powerful interdisciplinary expertise. We conduct world-class research, driven by the real possibility of using genome engineering to treat human diseases, end hunger, and respond to climate change.

In addition to our scientific efforts, the IGI is committed to advancing public understanding of genome engineering, providing resources for the broader community, and guiding the ethical use of these technologies.

Our Values

We believe that science should serve the public good. Our aim is realize the promise of genome engineering to advance human health and well-being. We are creating genome-engineering solutions that meet an urgent need, serve a historically underserved community, or advance technology to meet these ends. We are creating new paradigms for commercializing genome-engineering technologies that ensure broad, equitable access.

We believe that diversity and excellence are intrinsically linked and that it is crucial that the next generation of scientific leaders and researchers reflect the diversity of our community. We aim to provide a workplace that is welcoming and inclusive, where student members receive high-quality training and mentorship. Join the IGI Opportunities mailing list to hear about training, fellowship, funding, and early-career opportunities.
