Asper Biogene is working on the new project – „Prototype development of pharmacogenetic test“.

Project goals: 

1. To develop a prototype of pharmacogenetic test to maximize drug efficacy and reduce adverse drug reactions for most common drugs (at least 30 drugs) listed in the internationally agreed pharmacogenetic clinical practice guidelines.

2. To develop medical informatics tools for the automatic generation and sharing of web-based pharmacogenetic test reports with doctors and patients through Health and Welfare Information Systems Centre (HWISC) database.

Project period: 06.07.2020 – 06.01.2021

Project has been supported by Enterprise Estonia (EAS) from The European Regional Development Fund. Financial support is up to 24 500,00 Euros.
