Our Contract Services

We also carry out genetic testing in the clinical research area (www.geneblitz.com). Amongst a range of state-of-the-art services, one of our key areas of expertise in is drug metabolism, whereby we analyse for genetic changes which affect the ability of a patient to break down drugs, a key part of determination of the correct dose of treatment for that patient.

In this regard we have won contracts with some of the world’s largest Contract Research Organisations (CROs), who are helping pharmaceutical companies to develop the next generation of life enhancing and life-saving drugs.
