NEW YORK (GenomeWeb) – Fabric Genomics announced today that it has signed on Luxembourgian data-management firm Information Technology for Translational Medicine (ITTM) to host its genomic data for customers in the European Union.
Specific terms of the deal were not disclosed.
"ITTM is an important strategic partner to help us expand our [next-generation sequencing] analysis tools in the EU," Mathias Klozenbuecher, vice president of business development at Fabric, said in a statement. "We are impressed by ITTM's commitment to security and patient privacy, as well as their leadership in genomics data storage."
ITTM Cofounder and General Manager Andreas Kremer added that in certain EU nations, "regulations prohibit the transfer of personal data across borders, so we are thrilled to provide optimal hosting services to those customers who do not have their own servers."
