About TGen

Translational Genomics Research Institute

Translational Genomics Research Institute (TGen) is a Phoenix, Arizona-based nonprofit organization dedicated to conducting groundbreaking research with life-changing results. TGen is part of City of Hope, a world-renowned independent research and treatment center for cancer, diabetes, and other life-threatening diseases. This precision-medicine affiliation enables both institutes to complement each other in research and patient care, with City of Hope providing a significant clinical setting to advance scientific discoveries made by TGen.

TGen is focused on helping patients with neurological disorders, cancer, diabetes, and infectious diseases through cutting-edge translational research — the process of rapidly moving research toward patient benefit. TGen physicians and scientists work to unravel the genetic components of both common and complex rare diseases in adults and children.

Working with collaborators in the scientific and medical communities worldwide, TGen makes a substantial contribution to helping patients through the efficiency and effectiveness of the translational process.

Where your support goes

Funds raised through the Lynne Trobaugh Golf Classic support TGen’s ovarian cancer early-detection research — expanding the clinical trial of a Pap smear and blood test designed to catch the disease at its earliest, most treatable stage.
