Advisory groups

At the core of the DIPLOMICS network are three advisory committees (ACs - formerly Working Groups) representing the domains of genomics, proteomics & metabolomics, and bioinformatics.

The structure of the ACs includes senior, experienced scientists from academia, science councils and private enterprises, all of whom volunteer their time and work closely with DIPLOMICS management, which consists of a director, coordinators and domain experts, and outsourced specialists in media, marketing and communications.

As experts in their fields, the ACs provide vital information on infrastructure gaps and potential solutions. We collectively develop initiatives for buying and deploying specialized instruments, training programs for technicians, service and maintenance contracts, and showcasing new technologies.

The ACs provide insights on activities (e.g. current market demands), trends and future opportunities in Omics and the challenges they face in competing in a global Omics marketplace, such as pricing, perception of quality and turnaround time.
