15 November 2017 | News

The collaboration will be to molecularly profile tumors using cutting edge technology utilized in the laboratory of Arnab Chakravarti.

Singapore - Global Gene Corp (UK based genomics data platform and applications company) announced a collaboration with The Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center - Arthur G. James Cancer Hospital and Richard J. Solove Research Institute (OSUCCC - James), Department of Radiation Oncology, to develop a better understanding of rare cancers in South Asian and Indian populations. The collaboration with the OSUCCC - James reinforces Global Gene Corp's vision of focusing on personalized healthcare data at a global level.

The collaboration will be to molecularly profile tumors using cutting edge technology utilized in the laboratory of Arnab Chakravarti, M.D., at the OSUCCC - James. Global Gene Corp will provide access to longitudinal, genomics data, insights and analytics for unexplored patient populations in South Asians.

"To help fight cancer, one has to build a representative and unique perspective that leads to novel insights.  India and South-East Asia have different manifestations of cancer compared to cancers that are considered rare in the West. We aim to study why" says Chakravarti, chairman of the department of radiation oncology at the OSUCCC - James. Chakravarti's laboratory research efforts are recognized at an international level. His novel work is the reason why Chakravarti was recently appointed to the National Cancer Institute (NCI) Advisory Board.  He is the first radiation oncologist to ever be appointed to such a position.
