Personal Genome Diagnostics develops a patient-specific analysis of the cancer genome by using advanced tools and technologies. They were the first to sequence and analyze whole human cancer exomes and subsequently identified many alterations responsible for the development of cancer. They have described the principles underlying the genetic basis of human cancer and have developed novel technologies for non-invasive “liquid biopsy” approaches in cancer. Through PGDx, our founders bring their proprietary methods and expertise to research teams worldwide. The services help oncologists and translational scientists sequence and analyze cancer genomes and identify mutations to characterize aspects of the disease. Their expertise in genome analysis ranges from sample preparation and sequencing to data interpretation and analysis. They specialize in high-throughput next-generation sequencing and proprietary algorithms to identify alterations in complex cancer genomes and have developed novel technologies for non-invasive “liquid biopsy” approaches in cancer. Personal Genome Diagnostics was founded in 2010 and is based in Baltimore, Maryland, United States.
