Services
We provide two services: OncoAct and Hartwig Sequencing Services.
OncoAct
Cancer is caused by DNA mutations. To find these mutations, we developed OncoAct. OncoAct is a complete DNA test that can provide physicians with additional information about clinically relevant characteristics of a tumor (biomarkers) that may also be predictive of the response to treatment.
Changes in the genetic profile (mutations) sometimes provide clues to a potential treatment that can directly target these mutations. This is known as targeted therapy.
In addition, the OncoAct report contains possible leads for trials or experimental drugs.
Sequencing Services
We sequence and analyze DNA for research purposes.
The number of WGS samples Hartwig Medical Foundation has is quite unique in the research field and is rapidly growing. It amounted to 3.500 samples when we started and it’s already over 5.000 now.
