Neurogenetics is the study of how the genome contributes to
the growth and structure of the nervous system. Ebiotec
has been one of the few genetic testing laboratories to recognize
the importance of genomic approaches in narrowing the gap between
gene identification and function. Hence making ebiotec
a pioneer in the field of Neurogenetic research.
Knowledge of the genetics of nervous system leads to:
An improved understanding of normal and
abnormal brain function and behaviour.
Enhanced diagnostics.
More effective therapeutics.
Preventive brain anti-aging plans.
Applications
of Neurogenetics lie in the areas of:
Molecular neuropharmacology.
The discovery of new drugs for neurological disorders.
Gene therapy.
The development of personalised pharmaceutical therapy based
on pharmacogenomic research.
Redefinition
and reclassification of diseases.
Molecular clinical diagnostics.
The
successful integration of diagnostics with therapeutics.
