Illumina, Inc. announced on December 16, 2024, a collaboration with Ovation.io, Inc., focused on advancing genomic data research to accelerate precision medicine. The partnership aims to address challenges in drug development by utilizing genomic data for drug target and biomarker discovery in non-oncology indications.
The collaboration will leverage Illumina’s next-generation sequencing (NGS) platforms alongside Ovation’s biobank, which contains over 1.6 million de-identified, consented, and tokenized samples. This initiative seeks to provide life sciences researchers with high-quality genomic data linked to rich, longitudinal clinical data at scale.
The initial phase of the collaboration will concentrate on creating pilot datasets in liver disease, chronic kidney disease, and glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist treated patients. This strategic partnership is expected to expand genomic healthcare insights across a wider range of conditions, accelerating the impact of precision medicines.
