PATHSEEK - Biotech, Pharma and Life Science Channel
Sequencing platforms in diagnostic laboratories may aid both patient management by detecting resistance associated mutations, and public health measures, by determining phylogenetic relationships between infections from different patients. Current platforms are limited by the timeframe required for generating a result and by the limited sequence information provided on pathogens. To overcome these limitations PATHSEEK, a 36-month project, proposes to set up a disruptive diagnostic technological pathogen sequencing platform that will deliver all possible drug resistance mutations as well as data on nosocomial infection, from one patient sample in one single assay.
The PATHSEEK platform will open up a new era in clinical diagnosis and patient management by delivering all the results needed to provide personalised treatment. The rapid delivery of results will ensure early, appropriate therapy thereby helping to reduce the development of drug resistance and minimising unnecessary, extra medical expense from the use of inappropriate drugs. PATHSEEK is an EC FP7 funded project, under the theme HEALTH.2012.2.3.0-1, grant number 304875.
