Public Health

Locally to globally, Genpax removes the barriers of whole genome sequencing bacterial analaysis

Infection in Public Health is about both prevention and control. The best way to prevent outbreaks growing is to find them early. For this to be possible it is essential that not only the significant isolates are sequenced, but also there is a mechanism to compare them across regions and borders, at scale and in real time.

IDEM delivers this connectability and comparability with results available in under 2 hours from submission of the FASTQ WGS data file. There is no reliance on using the same reference strains as IDEM is natural reference-free.

Local to Global Surveillance

Previous analytical capabilities limit the comparability and deliverability of WGS for public health surveillance of infectious diseases.

IDEM delivers highly consistent, reproducible analysis, regardless of the location of the laboratory and removes the need for expensive local computing resources and bioinformatician expertise.

Outbreak Detection

pathogen outbreak detection using wgs

IDEM offers a novel genomic solution with greater than SNP-level resolution throughout the whole analysis process to identify, track, and trace individual bacterial strains both locally and globally for the next generation of outbreak detection.

Our unique scalability and connectability enables global collaboration of public health facilities with an unrivalled level of detailed analysis.

Emerging Threats and Biosecurity

The Genpax platform offers the next generation of novel pathogen identification.

Our unique solution is transformational in monitoring the spread of new and potentially dangerous strains and a critical tool in the fight against the emergence of antibiotic resistant and hypervirulent strains.​

Advanced Bioinformatics Simplified
