What do customers and researchers say about us?

  • “When exploring the DNA methylation of Cri du Chat patients, DISGENET helped me find interesting connections between genes with DNA methylation changes in the promoter and disease phenotypes. This analysis was suggestive of the DNA methylation itself having a role in developing the characteristics of this understudied rare disease.”​

    Petter Holland, PhD​

    Researcher at Oslo University Hospital, Norway​

  • “We use DISGENET to search for variants that cause rare diseases. The most difficult part of variant searching is finding appropriate references and presenting evidence, and DISGENET’s large and well-structured database makes it easy to find.​”

    June-Young Koh​

    Chief Research Officer & Head of RARE TFT, Inocras​

  • “DISGENET has been a game-changer in our research endeavors. Our project revolves around understanding the consequences of protein misfolding, a phenomenon where proteins fail to adopt their native, functional structure, thereby impacting biological processes and contributing to disease pathology. We wholeheartedly recommend DISGENET to other researchers and colleagues working in similar domains.”​

  • Launch of IHI JU VICT3R Initiative to Revolutionize Nonclinical Drug and Chemical Safety Evaluation with Virtual Controls

    MedBioinformatics Announces Participation in IHI JU VICT3R Initiative to Revolutionize Nonclinical Drug and Chemical Safety Evaluation with Virtual Controls

    [Barcelona, Spain, September 16, 2024] — MedBioinformatics today announced its involvement in the VICT3R initiative, a groundbreaking initiative aimed at transforming nonclinical drug and chemical safety evaluation. VICT3R is a public-private partnership supported by the Innovative Health Initiative Joint Undertaking (IHI JU), set to significantly reduce the number of animals used in experimental studies. The […]

  • Genetics in Drug Discovery - Key to Clinical Trial Success?

    Genetics In Drug Discovery: The Key To Clinical Trial Success?

    By leveraging human genetics to identify drug targets with a proven link to disease mechanisms, the probability of clinical trial success greatly increases [1].  Only 10% of drugs that enter phase 1 clinical trials eventually make it to market [2], primarily due to issues related to efficacy or safety that arise later on. These frequent […]

  • Anticipating Drug Toxicity: data-driven drug safety with DISGENET

    Key points What is flupirtine? Flupirtine, an aminopyridine introduced in 1984 as a non-opioid analgesic for acute and chronic pain, embarked on a tumultuous journey within the medical landscape. Initially approved for broad pain management, its trajectory shifted in 2013 due to concerns over liver toxicity. The European Medicines Agency (EMA) limited its use to […]

  • Genetics for drug and chemical risk assessment

    In recent years, there has been an increasing appreciation of the need to consider variability in human populations in evaluating health risks for new and existing chemicals. Recent policies such as The Frank R. Lautenberg Chemical Safety for the twenty-first Century Act (2016) require the US Environmental Protection Agency to evaluate new and existing toxic chemicals with explicit […]

  • Genetic support for FDA approvals in 2021

    Key points Human genetics and FDA drug approvals in 2021 There is compelling evidence of the value of incorporating genetic information in the drug development process. A drug target supported by genetic evidence has a 2-fold higher probability of successful clinical development compared to those targets with no genetic support [1]. A systematic analysis of FDA […]
