Vejle Sygehus, the Technical University of Denmark (DTU), Exiqon A/S, and Intomics A/S have joined forces to develop a future platform for precision medicine in a five-year project supported by The Danish National Advanced Technology Foundation. The project will focus on colorectal cancer, where genetic information from many samples will be available.
Intomics A/S is developing sophisticated tools for analysing and combining large quantities of biomedical data, including genetic variation data from individuals. Based on these tools and Intomics’ unique expertise within molecular systems biology, genetic data derived from tumours will be analysed and correlated with treatment outcome to advance the field of precision medicine.
Thomas S. Jensen continues, "We are very happy to be part of the project. I see a great synergy between the four partners and strongly believe that by teaming up with leading companies and research institutions in cancer research, data analysis, and diagnostic kit development, we can make important discoveries that can help cancer patients."
