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.

In 2014, FRIGE had organised an international conference in conjunction with the Indian Society of Human Genetics. The conference’s opening ceremony was led by the former President of the Republic of India- Prof. A.P.J. Abdul Kalam. Subsequently, he gave a rousing feedback on our work:
