GenTech's Research

At GenTech Analytica, we are pioneering genetic research in the Caribbean. Our work involves genome-wide association studies (GWAS), polygenic risk scores (PRS), and a focus on uncovering genetic diversity unique to the region, with the goal of better understanding health risks in Caribbean populations.

Our Research Focus

💉

Disease Predisposition

Our studies aim to uncover genetic markers that indicate a higher risk of chronic diseases prevalent in the Caribbean.

💊

Pharmacogenomics

We analyze how genetic variations affect drug response, helping to tailor personalized medicine for Caribbean communities.

🌍

Ancestry

Mapping the genetic ancestry of Caribbean people to understand migration patterns and uncover hidden traits.

🧬

Genetic Traits

Examining unique genetic traits found in the Caribbean population, contributing to a global understanding of genetic diversity.
