CariGenetics
CariGenetics is revolutionizing healthcare in the Caribbean by creating the first secure genomic database and biobank tailored for the region. This initiative allows Caribbean people to own and monetize their genetic data, fostering new opportunities for local hospitals to provide advanced patient care1. By focusing on personalized medicine, CariGenetics aims to improve the effectiveness and safety of treatments for the local population, while also reducing healthcare costs. Their research delves into genetic markers, disease predisposition, and pharmacogenomics to ensure treatments are suitable for Caribbean genetics3. CariGenetics is committed to addressing the lack of representation in global genetic research, making the Caribbean a focal point for groundbreaking studies.
