About us
PrecisionMed Inc., founded in
1994, is a privately held human biobank in the San Diego, California area.
We collect, bank and market human genetic material including proteins
and metabolites linked to audited clinical phenotypic information. We
cater to the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries as well as certain
academic institutions.
PrecisionMed supplies banked collections
to our clients:
- DNA
- PAXgene RNA
- Serum
- Plasma
- Urine
- CSF
- PBMCs
- Phenotypic data
Genetic material, protein and metabolites collected by PrecisionMed, form
a primary tool in genetics research, enabling scientists not only to transform
the quality of our lives but also to help us more fully understand the
complex processes which define us as individual human beings.
Clinicians
will be able to diagnose disease with unprecedented precision, predetermine
a patient's response to therapy, and empower individuals to make preventive
lifestyle changes based on their susceptibility to certain diseases.
For
society to benefit from these extraordinary advances, PrecisionMed believes
that informed public discussion, meaningful application of ethical principles,
and thoughtful public policy will foster the constructive uses of genetic
information while precluding inadvertent or intentional misuse. Education
of the public and healthcare providers will help us become genetically
literate and capable of making informed choices.
