Description
MEDomics provides Mutation Expert-based Diagnosis (“MED”) of patients’ genome data to enhance personalized medicine through the employment of bioinformatics, clinical genetics, and mutation. MEDomics is the first fully-certified CLIA lab to focus on next Gen sequencing, which is massively-parallel sequencing accompanied by expert analysis and interpretation sequencing. Interpretation by the Company represents 80% of the information and effort provided to the physician ordering the test, which facilitates a more definitive diagnosis. The Company has a proprietary bioinformatics database focused on mitochondrial medicine. MitoDX is capable of sequencing the mitochondrial genome thousands of times, providing heterosplasmy down to 1%. MitoNucleomeDX analyzes 312 nuclear genes necessary for mitochondrial function, and while reports are typically 7-20 pages, the key data is usually summarized for the physician in the first 3-5 sentences of a report. This later-stage biotechnology company has more than two decades of experience in the DNA diagnostic field and is raising $2-3M for expansion.
Technology / Differentiation
Diagnostic testing at MEDomics is based on NextGen Sequencing (massively-parallel sequencing), accompanied by expert analysis and interpretation of results. The interpretation reflects two decades of DNA diagnostic experience supplemented by intensive review of the literature and knowledge gained at appropriate national and international meetings. Tests within the division range from multi-gene panels for polygenic disorders to complete sequencing of an individual's entire genome.
