At Nova Genetics we believe the world is on the cusp of a paradigm shift in clinical treatment and preventive medicine, bringing about the dawning of precision medicine leading to better lives. Great strides are being made in the field of applied human genetics in medicine.Nova Genetics is focused on helping clinicians use precision medicine in the accurate profiling for treatment using pharmacogenomics; molecular diagnosis of cancers; and precise genetic diagnosis of inherited disorders. Until now, most medical treatments have been designed for the "average patient." As a result of this "one-size-fits-all" approach, treatments can be very successful for some patients but not for others.Precision Medicine, on the other hand, is an innovative approach that takes into account individual differences in people's genes, environments, and lifestyles. It gives medical professionals the resources they need to target the specific treatments of the illnesses we encounter, further develops our scientific and medical research, and keeps our families healthier.
