PHG Cambridge (formerly PHG Foundation) is a non-profit think tank with a special focus on how genomics and other emerging health technologies can provide more effective, personalised healthcare and deliver improvements in health for patients and citizens. In April 2018, PHG Cambridge became part of the University of Cambridge, as a linked exempt charity.

Their mission is to make science work for health. Placing the health of individuals and populations at the centre of everything they do, helping governments, policy makers and health professionals tackle barriers to progress and implement strategic change within health systems to drive forward the translation of biomedical advances into practical benefits.

They are currently undertaking work in the areas of circulating tumour DNA technology use in cancer management, citizen generated data and regulating algorithms in healthcare. PHG Cambridge has recently started a two year project My Healthy Future which aims to set out a vision of personalised healthcare in 2040.
