Europen Molecular Quality Network's (EMQN) external quality assessment (EQA) certification ensures highest quality of the entire analytical process of a molecular diagnostics lab including the ability to interpret complex data and produce an accurate diagnostic test report.
New coronavirus strain and its impact on vaccine strategy
With the new COVID19 virus strain (B1.1.7.) throwing the entire world into a frenzied state, it is important to understand its impact on healthcare and vaccine strategies.
Vaccine development stage and clinical trials against coronavirus - COVID19
With more than 180 vaccines are currently being developed against COVID19 virus, it important than ever to understand the approaches for developing vaccines and how they will be distributed across the world.
Predicting acute inflammation response in COVID-19 patients
Predicting the course of COVID-19 is essential for best treatment outcome for the patients.

COVID-19: Impact on India (Student Blog)
A detailed analysis on the impact of covid19 outbreak on India penned by the students of FRIGE.
Genetics of coronavirus - COVID19
Several research groups, hospitals, nations and the World Health Organisation (WHO) have been playing active role to sequence the RNA of the COVID19 virus. Its purpose and utility is discussed in a live interview with the Gujarat Samachar TV.
Mutation spectrum in autism spectrum disorders in India
Diagnosing autism spectrum disorders (ASDs) is often challenging as mutation in several genes can lead to the disease. Systematic application of latest genomic technologies could improve diagnosis and reduce cost.
Low cost diagnosis of common lysosomal storage disorders
Diagnosis of lysosomal storage disorders (LSD) is often challenging due to overlapping clinical symptoms and costly chemicals. We are developing a sequencing based assay that can diagnose over 20 LSDs simultaneously.
The Great and the Good
Over our 25 years history, we have been fortunate to meet and receive praise from noted dignitories, scientists and the general public. Their words enthuse us to strive towards excellence in delivering diagnostics and research.
FRIGE - GSBTM Finishing School
Genetics is currently going through a rapid expansion in its suite of techniques and technologies. Understanding these technologies and using them in research and diagnostic settings is key for their robust implementation in clinics.
A novel suite of biochemical diagnostic tests for Lysosomal Storage Disorders
Lysosomal Storage Disorders (LSDs) are a group of 70 diseases that are characterised by an impaired lysosome enzyme and occurs in 1 in 5000 births. Diagnosing these diseases is extremely challenging as it requires accurate clinical data collection and subsequent use of specific lysosomal enzyme substrates.
Next generation microsatellite instability test
Colorectal cancer, also known as bowel cancer, is the sixth most common cancer in India. National health agencies of USA, UK, France and India. recommend all bowel cancers to be tested for a specific type of “DNA spelling mistakes” called microsatellite instability or MSI for short.
