PrecisionLife and Metrodora Institute partner to accelerate diagnosis, treatment of Long COVID, ME\/CFS<\/h1>\/ in E-News<\/a> <\/span><\/span><\/header>\n<\/div><\/section>

PrecisionLife, and leading US multi-specialty healthcare center, and Metrodora Institute, are co-investing in a first-of-its-kind partnership to jumpstart the diagnosis and treatment options for a range of complex, chronic diseases including Long COVID, ME\/CFS, ALS, Sj\u00f6gren\u2019s syndrome, and many more. The partners will first develop and validate genotypic diagnostics that provide clinicians with an accurate view of a patient\u2019s risk of disease; then, using the molecular profile of their underlying disease mechanisms, report back effective prescribing decisions and drug discovery opportunities
\nto improve patient outcomes.<\/h3>\n

<\/p>\n

The partnership builds on PrecisionLife\u2019s unique insights into the mechanisms driving more than 50 complex diseases and Metrodora\u2019s deep clinical and research expertise to address a broad range of chronic, complex conditions. The first products developed will be in Long COVID and ME\/CFS building on PrecisionLife\u2019s groundbreaking studies\u00b9,\u00b2.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section>

\u201cWe\u2019ve gone far too long without providing clinicians and patients with an informative readout of the biological drivers associated with these conditions. Moving with unprecedented speed and scale, we will work to rapidly establish this new class of genotypic diagnostic tools paired with targeted clinical trials at Metrodora,\u201d said Rohit Gupta, Metrodora\u2019s Chief Scientific Officer.<\/p>\n

The collaboration will extend to the identification and clinical validation of safe and effective drug repurposing candidates associated with disease modifying mechanisms and accelerate the approval of effective new personalized treatments for patients.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn Metrodora we have a partner that is focused on the diagnosis and treatment of some of the most challenging and intractable diseases,\u201d said Steve Gardner, PrecisionLife\u2019s CEO. \u201cWith our combined disease insights, patient support and clinical expertise, we\u2019re building a powerful engine that will transform the rate at which both new diagnostics and effective therapies can be clinically validated and provided to patient communities that are massively underserved \u2013 improving health for millions of people.\u201d<\/p>\n

John Wirthlin, CEO of Metrodora Institute, commented: \u201cPrecisionLife\u2019s unrivalled understanding of the mechanistic causes of disease enables us to better diagnose individual patients and specify which therapies are most likely to be effective in treating them. Working together we\u2019re committed to reimagining treatment for patients with complex neuroimmune axis disorders.\u201d<\/p>\n
