Genetic Testing Cogentech - Overview

Cogentech is offering its diagnostic services for Hereditary Tumors (Cancer Risk) and for Personalized Medicine (Therapy) to clinicians, laboratories and hospitals.

The excellence of our diagnostic services is based on highly qualified staff, decennial experience, continuous formation and innovation, adherence to high quality standards and dedication to provide the best possible diagnostic service possible.

The company operates in the field of cancer molecular genetics and its aim is to develop diagnostic tools for the detection and quantification of particular germline genomic patterns that predispose to a risk of developing cancer. To do this, it has developed a proprietary ^® instrument. The latter, in addition to diagnosing the presence of pathogenic variants of known genes predisposing to hereditary cancer syndromes, can be used to carry out population screening for hereditary-familial forms of breast/ovarian and colorectal cancer to intercept carriers of pathogenic germline variants of genes predisposing to these cancers and to assess with PRS (for breast cancer) the generic genetic risk for this cancer. Cogentech's values, as a Benefit Society, are represented by its commitment to pursuing aims of common benefit, set out in its articles of incorporation and certified in the annual 'impact report'. We are a company with a Benefit C. format and as such committed to proposing solutions to problems that affect and have a significant social impact, such as those related to cancer diagnosis. We are on the market because we propose innovative and original solutions that respond to our strong Benefit C. vocation of investing in R&D, as dictated by our sole partner IFOM ETS. We also offer diagnostic solutions to niche problems commonly neglected by major commercial companies (e.g., pediatric cancers). The differences with our competitors are mainly attributable to the Benefit nature of the company, but above all to its controlling chain, the sole shareholder IFOM ETS Foundation and the AIRC charity that controls the latter. This 'virtuous circle' has Cogentech at its center, which on the one hand benefits from the innovation that IFOM's research can produce, on the other it responds to the need to provide concrete answers on the subject of cancer diagnostics, which the cancer patient, but also the ordinary citizen expects from AIRC. We consider your complaints, if any, as a valuable tool of quality and, therefore, the starting point for stimulating actions to improve CGT Lab services and our relationship with the user.
