Expansion: Gene Sequencing Started at Safdarjung Hospital for Targeted Cancer Therapy
– Safdarjung Hospital has started the Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) facility, the first advanced gene sequencing facility in a government hospital in India.
– The NGS facility will help to identify genetic diseases in children and the genes responsible for cancer, enabling targeted therapy.
– The facility will also benefit patients with all types of cancer and tuberculosis (TB).
– The Molecular Lab with NGS facility was inaugurated by Medical Superintendent Dr. BL Sherwal, OSD Dr. Vandana Talwar, and Principal Dr. Geetika Khanna on Thursday.
– Department Head Dr. Sunil Ranga stated that the facility will improve the treatment of children with leukemia and patients with immunodeficiency diseases and antimicrobial resistance such as MDR-tuberculosis.
– The NGS facility will also aid in conducting basic research in molecular biology, identifying gene changes, and detecting changes in other diseases.
Safdarjung Hospital has started the Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) facility, the first advanced gene sequencing facility in a government hospital in India. The NGS facility will help in identifying genetic diseases in children and the genes responsible for cancer, enabling targeted therapy. With the help of NGS, the causes of the disease will be known, and the doctor will be able to focus their treatment, improving treatment and recovery time for patients. The facility will benefit patients with all types of cancer and tuberculosis (TB). The Molecular Lab with NGS facility was inaugurated by Medical Superintendent Dr. BL Sherwal, OSD Dr. Vandana Talwar, and Principal Dr. Geetika Khanna on Thursday. Department Head Dr. Sunil Ranga stated that the facility will improve the treatment of children with leukemia and patients with immunodeficiency diseases and antimicrobial resistance such as MDR-tuberculosis.
The NGS facility will also aid in conducting basic research in molecular biology, identifying gene changes, and detecting changes in other diseases. Gene sequencing was also done for the change in the corona, so that the changing form of the corona could be detected, and efforts could be made for the treatment of these diseases in the coming days. The NGS facility is a valuable addition to Safdarjung Hospital, enabling targeted therapy and improving treatment for cancer patients and children with genetic diseases.
