We are proud to be the first lab in Croatia to have installed System Element AVITI System Sequencing Instrument (Element Biosciences). We are looking forward to start using this NGS system for sequencing to provide a comprehensive range of genetic testing solutions and the flexibility to customize testing to specific indications. This will help us to set new standards in the approach to personalized medicine and represents an important step forward in translational medicine.
Our team published the article “Implementing Whole Genome Sequencing (WGS) in Clinical Practice: Advantages, Challenges, and Future Perspectives” in the scientific journal Cells, as part of the Special Issue Recent Advances in Research on Chromosome Abnormalities and Genomic Disorders. Integrating WGS into standard clinical practice introduces new prospects for personalized medicine and enhanced patient health results, encompassing proactive interventions to deter the onset of complex diseases. Anticipating the future, WGS is poised to become a customary diagnostic instrument in pediatric care, streamlining precise and tailored treatment for children with both monogenic and multifactorial conditions. The assimilation of WGS into clinical practice marks a significant shift in approach, offering optimism for improved outcomes of patient treatments. This potent technology not only heightens diagnostic precision but also unlocks new avenues for personalized therapies.
