MISSION
To inform the clinical and public health research and implementation of genomic screening in newborns through the harmonization and aggregation of scientific evidence and resources
ICoNS is growing daily, with more and more partners from around the world joining the movement and contributing their research to propel us toward the dream of preventive genomics as routine medicine.
With hundreds of individual consortium members and the multitude of researchers, healthcare providers, vendors, and laboratories they bring with them, ICoNS is the premier collection of experts in the field.
ICoNS welcomes thought-leaders across all fields that are actively participating in newborn sequencing implementation projects, or are imminently preparing to do so.
