Leveraging the benefits of gene expression profiling
- microarray technology – and collaboration
The leaders of Agendia are the inventors and initiators of diagnostic microarray testing - the technology which forms the basis for the company’s commercially available tests.
Clinically-relevant tumor gene expression profiles are established through in-house research, research collaborations and strategic alliances with leading academic institutes. In particular, Agendia has very close links, both geographically and collaboratively, with The Netherlands Cancer Institute.
Once validated, these profiles are used to develop commercially available tests utilizing the microarray technology. Tests are currently performed in a high quality clinical laboratory at the company’s headquarters in Amsterdam, The Netherlands.
A growing business
Agendia working to develop further tests and applications and to market the current test portfolio globally through direct sales and an expanding distribution network. Both MammaPrint and CupPrint* are CE-marked and the company is ISO 17025 and CLIA accredited.
