About
CENTOGENE
CENTOGENE’s mission is to provide data-driven,
life-changing answers to patients, physicians, and pharma companies
for rare and neurodegenerative diseases. We integrate multiomic
technologies with the CENTOGENE Biodatabank – providing dimensional
analysis to guide the next generation of precision medicine. Our
unique approach enables rapid and reliable diagnosis for patients,
supports a more precise physician understanding of disease states,
and accelerates and de-risks targeted pharma drug discovery,
development, and commercialization.
Since our founding in 2006, CENTOGENE has been
offering rapid and reliable diagnosis – building a network of
approximately 30,000 active physicians. Our ISO, CAP, and CLIA
certified multiomic reference laboratories in Germany utilize
Phenomic, Genomic, Transcriptomic, Epigenomic, Proteomic, and
Metabolomic datasets. This data is captured in our CENTOGENE
Biodatabank, with over 850,000 patients represented from over 120
highly diverse countries, over 70% of whom are of non-European
descent. To date, the CENTOGENE Biodatabank has contributed to
generating novel insights for more than 300 peer-reviewed
publications.
By translating our data and expertise into tangible
insights, we have supported over 50 collaborations with pharma
partners. Together, we accelerate and de-risk drug discovery,
development, and commercialization in target and drug screening,
clinical development, market access and expansion, as well as
offering CENTOGENE Biodata Licenses and Insight Reports to enable a
world healed of all rare and neurodegenerative diseases.
