The Future of Genetic Testing in Ireland

Ireland’s first Private Genetic Medical Testing Laboratory:

An Entrepreneurial & Academic Partnership

Eurofins Clinical Genetics: Dedicated to your Personal Health:
Healthcare in Ireland is currently transitioning to personalised Predictive Medicine. Until recently, efforts and resources have been concentrated on managing disease, however the surge in cases of chronic disease worldwide is overwhelming healthcare systems. Eurofins are committed to being a part of the Predictive Medicine solution.

Ireland is Bringing Genetic Testing Home
A state-of-the-art, next-generation sequencing laboratory has been developed by Eurofins Clinical Genetics in Dublin city. Our Clinical Genetics Laboratory offers advanced clinical genetics services while maintaining a strong focus on advancing clinical research in our dedicated research and development lab at our Dublin site. This combination of entrepreneurship and intellectual Academia will allow Eurofins to bring Predictive Medicine to the Irish population.

What is Predictive Medicine?
Genetic Tests can help to predict your chances of developing specific conditions or diseases. Currently your inherited genes cannot be changed, but your predisposition for developing these conditions or diseases may be altered by factors such as lifestyle and environment. Lifestyle factors such as stress, bodyweight, fitness, quality of sleep, and nutrition can be addressed, and environmental factors such as where you live, use of plastics, and exposure to toxins can be explored. Knowing that you can alter your own health outcome is empowering.

‍What is NGS?
Next-generation sequencing (NGS) is the current technology used for the analysis of genetic material. Specialised laboratories use NGS to detect variances in genetic sequences, which are the cause of specific conditions or diseases. NGS can sequence thousands of genes in a relatively short period of time. This allows the rapid diagnosis of these conditions and diseases.
‍
What do we Test?
Eurofins offer a wide range of genetic testing, including various options for Non-Invasive Prenatal Testing (NIPT), Oncology, Fertility, Nutrigenetics, and Gynaecology. With the current speed of innovation in this field, we will soon be able to offer more.
‍
Research & Development
We are securing our future growth and innovation by establishing a vibrant new dedicated Research & Development department to keep this area of Healthcare at home, growing in line with technological advancements.
