Secugen - R & D

For us R & D and Innovation are cornerstone of their business.
We develop research projects financed with own funds or grants from public agencies on a competitive basis.
We perform these activities in our daily work, from improving and optimizing processes to the development of specific developments in major diseases such as macular degeneration associated with age or rare diseases such as atypical Hemolytic Uremic Syndrome, or encephalopathy of childhood.
In this sense Secugen is making a special effort to transfer diagnostic platforms that are based on PCR and capillary sequencing to NGS technologies.
These developments allow Secugen to publish in scientific journal and to give a great support to their customer.

Do you have innovative projects? Let us know and we are pleased to work together.
