A proud and exciting moment for all of us here at AWMGS as the roll out of QuicDNA Max was launched on Tuesday!

Following the success of the QuicDNA partnership study and its potential to transform diagnosis and treatment pathways, the partnership has now officially launched QuicDNAMax.

This next phase will accelerate the use of cutting-edge liquid biopsy technology, upscaling the study to include the ctDNA testing of other cancer types as well as the rollout of QuicDNA Max across all Welsh Health Boards, supporting faster and more personalised treatment decisions for more cancer pathway patients across Wales.

Taking place during British Science Week, the launch is a pioneering moment for Welsh Genomics, and is testament to the ingenuity, innovation and passion for improving patient outcomes, that our scientists and partners bring to the genomic landscape.

A heart-warming story showcasing the impact the QuicDNA Liquid Biopsy Study has had on Pat and her family.
Pat's story not only represents improved patient outcomes as a direct result of advances in genomic application, but also highlights Wales' journey towards embedding precision medicine in to our treatment pathways.
Looking to the future: The innovative, hard working and dedicated teams that have been involved in making the study a success are now expanding the use of liquid biopsy into other cancer types - the QuicDNA Max study will be launched very soon and marks the start of a very exciting new chapter of Wales' Genomic Strategy.
