Innovation in medicine
On November 5, 2024, our headquarters in Brno–Karásek became a meeting point for experts in oncogenetics and bioinformatics who accepted the invitation from MDx. They presented advanced applications of next-generation sequencing (NGS) and demonstrated how predictive diagnostics of solid tumors are gaining an increasingly important role in modern medicine. Attendees had the opportunity to glimpse into the development process of our products—from the very first steps to their final implementation in practice. This provided participants with an in-depth insight into the specifics of NGS and helped uncover new possibilities for how these technologies support more effective and personalized treatment.
NGS technology in practice
Throughout the seminar, participants attended practical demonstrations and inspiring lectures where experts presented the development of NGS technologies and their application in clinical practice. Real-world case studies were discussed, illustrating how advanced genetic analysis can significantly impact the diagnosis and treatment of oncology patients. The event was a unique opportunity for all attendees to share their experiences and jointly explore new ways of applying genomics for more precise care.
We would like to thank everyone who contributed to the success of this seminar—our speakers as well as all participants, whose interest and shared experiences were an invaluable asset.
