The focus of Genomix Biotech is to identify the crucial needs, explore the problems through fundamental research and develop best quality compounds or biopharmaceuticals for therapeutic intervention of disease processes.Genomix Biotech R& D team identified several crucial areas that are vital for not only for Indian subcontinent but also throughout the world health needs.
These areas of our research include:
Diagnostic kits for emerging diseases:
One of the major focus is to develop, produce and market immuno and molecular based diagnostic kits for different diseases.
Malaria: A series of genes from Plasmodium species are cloned and are expressed in different systems. A collaborative project to develop MDR malaria microarray chip with CDC is being developed.
MTB: Mycobacterium (MTB) genome has been used to isolate several structural genes including ESAT 6 recombinant protein that has great potentials for rapid diagnostic kits. A Collaborative project with University ofTexas medical School.
Bird flu: Five different genes from published sequences were synthesized and are used to generate synthetic genes for expression.
chikunguinya: Two viral lysates from India were used to purify total DNA and to isolate gene products for diagnostic kits and vaccines.
Dengue virus: Crude lysate was isolated from a diagnosed patient and will be used to generate gene products for diagnostic kits and vaccines.Diagnostic assays for critical products.
HIV: HIV is one of the major critical infectious disease and we are focusing to develop fourth generation Rapid diagnostic kits.Hb (S) Ag: Hepetitis B antigen based diagnostics assays.HCV antibody based assays
HIV Viral antigens: Recombinant proteins for HIV type 1 & 2 including gp 120, 39 kda and others will be expressed for diagnostic and research purposes. All the genomes are going to be used to generate recombinant proteins expressed in four different expression systems for generation of vaccines and rapid detection kits.
Cardiac Markers: Recombinant proteins and or specific antibodies will be used to detect and monitor cardiovascular diseases.
