Genome Foundation

Genome Foundation (GF) is a non-profit company established under section 25 of Companies Act, 1956 founded by a group of eminent Molecular Biologists and former Founder and Directors, CCMB, Late Dr Lalji Singh and Late Dr P M Bhargava and renowned Forensic Scientist, former Advisor, IGP, AP, Dr Gandhi P C Kaza, Former Secretary DST, Dr Palle Rama Rao and former NIMS Director, late Dr Kakarla Subba Rao and others. The Chairman Emeritus of GF is Dr C Rangarajan, Former Governor of RBI, Govt. of AP and Economic Advisor to the Indian PM and Shri K V Chowdary, Former Central Vigilance Commissioner of India, is currently the Chairman of Genome Foundation, while the co-founder, Dr Gandhi P C Kaza is the Managing Director.

Genome Foundation is a registered ‘Scientific & Industrial Research Organisation of DST, DSIR, Min of S & T, Govt. of India’, for carrying out Genetic Diagnostics, Research, Counselling, Training and Development activities and is a certified for ‘Pre-Conception and Pre-Natal Diagnostic Techniques (PCPNDT)’ facility recognised by the Medical & Health Dept., Government of Telangana State.

The domain experts of GF include some of the seasoned geneticists, biodiversity scientists, clinicians, and molecular biologists who are the erstwhile heads of central and state organisations who are advocating multiple therapy alternatives for treating genetic conditions besides offering genetic diagnostics, counselling, research and patient care services for a wide range of patients suffering from rare and lifestyle-based diseases amongst the rural poor and urban hi-tech job-oriented populations.

More clinicians are nowadays advocating for personalised patient management. There is a growing momentum to improve this further by integrating genomic information into clinical care by incorporating powerful new disease prevention, prediction, diagnosis and treatment tools. Advances in cellular and molecular biology techniques, genetic technology and understanding of pathology at a molecular level, coupled with an increasing patient demand for genetic and genomic investigation, are driving this momentum. GF is one of the leading organisations in India offering ‘Gut Microbiome Modulation’ based treatment options for genetic disorders to patients with appropriate prebiotic and probiotic supplements.

GF offers all diagnostic services at affordable, not-for-profit prices with free genetic counselling services and alternative treatment optional advisory services to the patients and their families.
