About genedrive plc (http://www.genedriveplc.com)
genedrive plc is a pharmacogenetic testing company developing and commercialising a low cost, rapid, versatile
and simple to use point of need pharmacogenetic platform for the diagnosis of genetic variants. This helps
clinicians to quickly access key genetic information that will aid them make the right choices over the right
medicine or dosage to use for an effective treatment, particularly important in time-critical emergency care
healthcare paradigms. Based in the UK, the Company is at the forefront of Point of Care pharmacogenetic testing
in emergency healthcare. Pharmacogenetics informs on how your individual genetics impact a medicines ability to
work for you. Therefore, by using pharmacogenetics, medicine choices can be personalised, made safer and more
effective. The Company has launched its two flagship products, the Genedrive® MT-RNR1 ID Kit and the
Genedrive® CYP2C19 ID Kit, both developed and validated in collaboration with NHS partners and deployed on
its point of care thermocycler platform. Both tests are single-use disposable cartridges which are ambient
temperature stable, circumventing the requirement for cold chain logistics. The Directors believe the Genedrive®
MT-RNR1 ID Kit is a worlds-first and allows clinicians to make a decision on antibiotic use in neonatal intensive
care units within 26 minutes, ensuring vital care is delivered, avoiding adverse effects potentially otherwise
encountered and with no negative impact on the patient care pathway. Its CYP2C19 ID Kit which has no
comparably positioned competitor currently allows clinicians to make a decision on the use of Clopidogrel in
stroke patients in 70 minutes, ensuring that patients who are unlikely to benefit from or suffer adverse effects
from Clopidogrel receive an alternative antiplatelet therapeutic in a timely manner, ultimately improving
outcomes. Both tests have undergone review by the National Institute for Health and Care Clinical Excellence
("NICE") and have been recommended for use in the UK NHS.
The Company has a clear commercial strategy focused on accelerating growth through maximising in-market
sales, geographic and portfolio expansion and strategic M&A, and operates out of its facilities in Manchester.
