Fortis Healthcare has launched a new medical institute dedicated to genomic medicine, which aims to increase individual and gene-targeted healthcare for complex diseases such as cancer, heart disorders, and neurological conditions. The Fortis Institute of Genomic Medicine, unveiled on Tuesday, would use advanced genetic testing to improve diagnosis, initial identity and precision of treatment. According to the hospital, the initiative brings experts from oncology, cardiology, neurology, pathology and genomics together to decode genetic markers and provide tailored care. The institute will apply state-of-the-art research to offer customized treatment for patients with aggressive cancer, congenital heart diseases, and rare neurological conditions, focusing on onco- genomics, cardio- genomics and neuro- genomics.
