Through a comprehensive understanding of genetic structures and the biology and pathology of disease, the company has pioneered and is developing molecular diagnostics and laboratory services that are intended to:
enable physicians to better manage infectious diseases and cancer by providing the critical information that helps them prescribe personalized treatment for patients by matching the underlying molecular features of an individual patient's disease to the drug expected to have maximal therapeutic benefit
