Research & Development is one of the most important aspects of progress. Genome Foundation wants to help scientists and researchers unlock their potential and grow exponentially. We offer the most comprehensive and most accurate molecular diagnostic and genomic services at affordable costs.

Research Projects:

The following projects are completed already:

  • Epidemiological Study of various common hereditary disorders, at Kalwari, Jaunpur, U.P.
  • Epidemic of childhood obesity, its prevalence, genetics of pathways regulating body weight its control through natural tribal resources, State S&T Program Dept. of Science & Technology Govt. of India.
  • Effect of Malnutrition on cognitive development of Tribal children of Eastern Uttar Pradesh with special reference to psychosomatic Constitution, State S&T Program, Dept. of science & Technology Govt. of India.
  • Micro profiling of Beta Thalassemia mutations in Telangana population. To map mutation profile of Beta Thalassemia, dreadful blood disorder in the region to aid prenatal diagnosis and prevention.
  • Whole Genome Association Study in High-Risk Indian Population by identifying vulnerable population for suicide via genetic association analysis in bringing into academic and administrative forum, the importance of suicide as a disease and its biological basis.
