Genomas Lands $1.4M SBIR Grant

Sep 15, 2009

NEW YORK (GenomeWeb News) – Genomas has won a $1.4 million grant from the National Institutes of Health to develop pharmacogenomic technology that will help doctors predict drug efficacy and side-effect risk for neuropsychiatric disease patients.

The company plans to use the Small Business Innovation Research grant to continue developing its PhyzioType Systems, which use genetic polymorphisms found through array genotyping and an algorithm to help doctors develop personalized drug prescriptions for antidepressants and antipsychotics.
