Different people respond differently to the same drug. It is well known that this difference in drug response is because of genetic differences. The study of these genetic differences to predict drug response is called Pharmacogenomics. We have created the first and only laboratory dedicated to offering pharmacogenomic tests in India. Currently we are offering tests to identify patients who are at great risk of developing severe toxicity from commonly used cancer drugs 6 Mercaptopurine and 5 Fluorouracil. We collect samples from all over India and analyze them in our laboratory. Our mission is to make chemotherapy safer and effective. Gradually we will extend our services to all cancer drugs and then move on to drugs used in other diseases like Asthma, Diabetes, TB, AIDS, Cardiovascular and CNS disorders. |
