The Genomic Center of Nanocenters 'Technospark' and 'Dubna', Russia and Strand Life Sciences, India to Co-develop Tests for Diagnosis of Inherited Diseases

"The main reason for these genomic methods being implemented on a limited scale in Russia's medical practice is their inconsistency with Russian clinical reality and the rejection of the medical community. Our genomic center collaborates with medical institutions on the basis of the request of clinicians themselves, which creates the demand in R&D. This cooperation with Strand will help us to use the best international practices for solving the wide range of tasks from a selection of personalized genetic tests for the patient to clinical interpretation of whole-genome analysis," says Vladislav Mileiko, CEO of ReadSense Genomic Center.

Talking about this partnership, Dr Vijay Chandru, Chairman & CEO, Strand Life Sciences said, "Strand has a focus on affordable and ethical use of genomics for providing genuine healthcare value to patients and physicians globally. ReadSense shares these values and we are excited about this partnership. With our combined scientific insights, the partnership will produce superior products for Russia and for the world."

In the near future the partners are planning to release in the Russian market diagnostic tests for the most demanded groups of hereditary diseases, namely neurological disorders and PI. The implementation of such tests in the format of 'test panels' that combine symptomatically similar diseases will assist their introduction into clinical practice and give more valuable information to the physician as compared to routine tests.
