Democratising access to crucial genomic data

Auindrila Das: 'I had been searching for opportunities to work in this area, only to find that no companies in Ireland were tackling the problems head-on.'

Genes play a role in inherited diseases and conditions. Genomics is the study of all of someone’s genes and Das says gaining access to specialised genetic expertise is often difficult and fragmented due to a severe global shortage of genetic experts and counsellors. The idea for gCLINICS, and its first product, GENEii , stemmed from Das’s familiarity with the complexity involved in handling vast amounts of genetic data and the problems she encountered when dealing with genetic and genomic services in Ireland.“For over a decade, I had been searching for opportunities to work in this area, only to find that no companies in Ireland were tackling the problems head-on,” Das says.

“GENEii provides tangible business returns for clinics and an improved experience for clients, which will ultimately lead to better patient outcomes in highly sensitive areas such as reproductive health,” says Das, who adds that the next stage in GENEii’s development will be to expand its capabilities to provide clinical support on which treatment decisions can be based.
