Welcome

Gknowmix enables health professionals to apply leading-edge genomic knowledge to health and disease management, without the need for a degree in genetics. Education previously provided through 10 CPD-accredited GeneTalk Workshops registered as a Short Course, has been replaced by Clinical Genomics Case Studies, using a mixed methods research design with high potential for transforming patient data into actionable insights.

We provide a gateway for scientists, healthcare practitioners and laboratories to integrate genetics with clinical indicators and environmental risk. A database pooled from these different sources enables the development of multiplex tests and treatment programs tailored to the needs of the individual. A step-by-step guide is provided for service requests via our Genetic Care Centre.

WHAT, WHEN & HOW?
Easy access to Genetic counselling is provided as an integral part of this service. Genetic testing is not offered directly to the public without support by a registered healthcare practitioner. For a meaningful genetic testing experience selection of the right test is vital.

OPEN GENOME PROJECT     –   How can whole exome sequencing be used to identify or reduce inherited, lifestyle- and treatment-induced risk?

The Gknowmix service delivery process enables seamless integration of clinical assessments and laboratory analyses for data interpretation and report back to the referring healthcare practitioner. Reports are authorised by knowledgeable members of the academic research teams. This open innovation model typically involves an integrated service and research approach using an ethics approved protocol. The science of medicine is ever-changing and subject to alteration as our understanding of health and disease pathways improves.
