It was great having our future scientists spend a session with us!

We hosted Advanced Diploma students from Cape Peninsula University of Technology (CPUT)’s Department of Biotechnology for a day in the life of the CPGR Lab, giving them a closer look into our processes and the role we play in the Biotechnology industry. This was a great initiative to zone in on OMICS services in the South African landscape. We were glad to have Prof Vincent Okudoh arrange this session with us, giving his students a step ahead in defining their career journeys.

Breast Cancer Awareness Month | October 2025

Early detection saves lives - but innovation changes outcomes.

In South Africa, breast cancer is the most common cancer among women, with incidence continuing to rise across all communities. Yet, when detected early, up to 90% of patients can survive for many years.

That’s where OMICS research is reshaping hope into precision.
Through Onco-OMICS approaches scientists are uncovering the molecular patterns driving breast cancer in African populations - enabling earlier detection, more accurate diagnosis, and targeted treatments that reflect our unique genetic diversity.

This month, we stand with the women and researchers transforming awareness into action, and with every breakthrough that brings us closer to equitable, data-driven cancer care from South Africa to the world.

Where science meets humanity, OMICS leads the way.

🔥Celebrating Heritage Day, the South African way!

We marked this special day with a braai at the office - sharing stories, connecting as a team, and honoring the diverse cultures that make South Africa so unique.

Just as our nation thrives through diversity, our work in OMICS research is driven by collaboration, innovation, and community.

Here’s to building a future rooted in heritage, shaped by science, and fueled by connection.

We believe equity begins with access to healthcare, knowledge, science, and innovation.

Nelson Mandela’s vision lives on in every genome we sequence, every insight we uncover, life transformed through South African science.

This Mandela Day, we commit to using our hands to combat poverty through data that drives solutions and science that serves people.

Local research holds global power and real impact starts at home.
