Apr 30 2024Garvan Institute of Medical Research Illumina , a global genomics and human health company, has partnered with the Garvan Institute of Medical Research 's TenK10K project to help transform the treatment of complex diseases, starting with autoimmune diseases, with a joint investment of $27 million AUD.
Illumina is supporting the project with supplies, equipment and specialist research support, which will provide a critical boost for Garvan's single-cell and whole genome sequencing research and enable upscaling to make the TenK10K project the largest project of its kind.
"That led to a proof-of-principle clinical trial at 10 Sydney hospitals to see if we can improve the treatment of Crohn's disease. The early results suggest we can predict a patient's response to a therapy based on their genetic profile. Through single-cell sequencing, which analyses individual cells rather than an average of many cells, we can see fingerprints that we've never been able to distinguish before.
"This partnership will help advance the field of genomics and personalised medicine, delivering benefits to patients across NSW," Mr Harris said. "Now I am finally rid of this disease, though I will have to deal with the impacts of it for the rest of my life and the possibility it may return."
