Genomics is now an essential technology in healthcare research. As such, GenoScreen is a preferred partner that adds value through the quality of its analyses, its metagenomics skills and its expertise in microbiology.
Infectious diseases
GenoScreen is developing a wide range of services for the genome-based characterization of bacterial pathogens (genome structure, virulence genes, antibiotic resistance, etc.):
- Tracking and evolution of microbial pathogens (mutations, gene expression, etc.).
- Analysis of host-pathogen interactions.
Our researchers’ expertise in microbiology is illustrated by the development of several innovative solutions in this sector, such as the MIRU-VNTR kits for typing and monitoring Mycobacterium tuberculosis strains, and the Deeplex®-TB solution for the detection and surveillance of antibiotic-resistant tuberculosis strains.
Oncology
Oncology research can draw upon whole-genome and whole-exome sequencing for the characterization of specific mutations or other biomarkers.
Genomic analysis can also be used in clinical trials.
