Project Aims To Develop Molecular Diagnostics Solution

By LabMedica International staff writers
Posted on 24 Jun 2010
A three-year project aims to develop an integrated software and hardware solution for molecular diagnostics.

The molecular diagnostics solution will intelligently use the fast and cheap sequencing options that the high-throughput sequencing industry provides, to diagnose rapidly and more precisely patient DNA samples through advanced, user-friendly software.

CLC bio (Aarhus N, Denmark), Ion Torrent (Guilford, CT, USA), and Aarhus University Hospital (Skejby, Denmark) have received a US$2 million grant from the Danish National Advanced Technology Foundation for the project.

Ion Torrent's ion personal genome machine (PGM) sequencer does a single run in about an hour or two, which makes the simple, yet scalable technology ideal for this molecular diagnostics project, where time is a critical factor in the patient diagnosis phase.

Roald Forsberg, Ph.D., director of scientific development at CLC bio said, "With our bioinformatics software solutions, we have succeeded in making advanced high-throughput sequencing technologies accessible to biomedical researchers. More...
Now we want to bring the DNA sequencing revolution to the hospitals and clinics, in order to realize the huge potential of high-throughput sequencing within molecular diagnostics, and personalized- and translational medicine."

The project will lead to an IT solution that can be used for clinical diagnostics in hospitals and outpatient clinics as well as for molecular diagnostics research.
