WASHINGTON , DC, UNITED STATES, November 1, 2024 /EINPresswire / -- IndyGeneUS Bio proudly announces its emergence as an innovative biofintech company formed through the strategic merger of IndyGeneUS AI and EncrypGen. Harnessing cutting-edge genomic research and blockchain technology, IndyGeneUS Bio is set to revolutionize the healthcare industry with a bold focus on diversity-driven gene target discoveries and data security.
Partnering with global health leaders like The Aurum Institute and wholly-owned subsidiary Global Health Innovation (GHI), IndyGeneUS Bio will have access to exclusive clinico-genomic datasets, emphasizing African genomes from the Continent. This partnership aims to address historical gaps in medical research, ensuring that therapies are informed by diverse genetic insights for the benefit of all populations. Recently, Aurum Institute became the first certified biorepository and are the new custodian of 150,000 samples derived from African epidemiological studies related to HIV vaccine clinical trials, generously supported by the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) and other funders. These samples have provided invaluable insights into HIV disease progression and have been instrumental in shaping the landscape for future HIV-related cancer genomics research. Aurum's accredited biorepository in Johannesburg, South Africa has the capacity to store up to 3 million samples and recently selected IndyGeneUS as their exclusive whole genome sequencing and Contract Drug Manufacturing Organization (CDMO).
With this focus, IndyGeneUS Bio is poised to expand the reach of decentralized clinical trials by developing an encrypted precision health discovery platform that offers pharmaceutical partners data insights without compromising the integrity or ownership rights of individual genetic contributors. The health benefits of personalized medicine through AI-driven insights will finally be achievable.
