They took the decision to focus on specialisation in genetic analyses, using new next-generation genome sequencing (NGS) technologies and bioinformatics models aimed at translational medicine. In 2015, the\u00a0Fundaci\u00f3\u00a0Ritort\u00a0joined the project.<\/p>\n<p>The company is a front-runner in genetic-clinical consultancy for both physicians and hospitals in terms of the prevention, early diagnosis and efficient treatment of diseases, particularly in neoplastic processes. The WG team selects and interprets clinically significant genetic data, showing the patient\u2019s genetic profile in the context of approved (FDA, EMA) personalised therapies or the final stages of clinical trials. Finally, experts in the field of clinical genetics and\/or oncology compile the data into a single concise report, together with the associated clinical recommendations that are reported to the physicians.<\/p>\n<p>For a specific diagnosis of the disease, an exhaustive analysis is performed on the data obtained from NGS through the use of bioinformatics tools and protocols that are internationally approved by genetic experts. WG also writes clinical reports based on genetic kits, whole exomes and whole genomes, and also has a liquid (blood) biopsy kit for the detection and follow-up of advanced cancer patients.<\/p>\n<p>WG collaborates in R&amp;D&amp;i in cancer projects with national hospitals, the ICO (Catalan Institute of Oncology), the CNIO (National Centre for Oncological Research) and the AECC (Spanish Association Against Cancer). Its board of directors has also created the Fundaci\u00f3 Teresa Moret\u00f3, which is a non-profit organisation that aims to raise money for biomedical research, and the companies\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.bloodgenetics.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">BloodGenetics<\/a>\u00a0for the genetic analysis of blood-related diseases, and\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.genyx.es\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Genyx<\/a>, focused on adapting people\u2019s lifestyles, nutritional habits and physical exercise routines.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The company\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.pcb.ub.edu\/portal\/en\/cerca?p_p_id=cercador_WAR_empleatsempresesportlet&amp;p_p_lifecycle=0&amp;p_p_state=maximized&amp;p_p_mode=view&amp;p_p_col_id=column-1&amp;p_p_col_count=1&amp;_cercador_WAR_empleatsempresesportlet_jspPage=%2Fhtml%2Fcommon%2Fdetall-empresa.jsp&amp;_cercador_WAR_empleatsempresesportlet_empresaId=ENT_006736&amp;_cercador_WAR_empleatsempresesportlet_redirect=%2Fportal%2Fca%2Fcerca%3Fp_p_id%3Dcercador_WAR_empleatsempresesportlet%26p_p_lifecycle%3D0%26p_p_mode%3Dview%26_cercador_WAR_empleatsempresesportlet_keywords%3Dwhole%2Bgenix%26_cercador_WAR_empleatsempresesportlet_tab%3D1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Whole Genix<\/a>,\u00a0based in the Barcelona Science Park, received the\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.elsuplemento.es\/gala\/premios-medicina-siglo-xxi\/ii-edicion-medicina-2019-g7\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">2019 &#8216;Medicina Siglo XXI&#8217; Award<\/a>\u00a0in the Medical Innovation category\u00a0during the gala marking the II edition of these prizes, held on Friday in Hotel Arts in Barcelona.
