Revvity Expands Alliance with Genomics England to Drive Research into Newborn Genomic Sequencing in England
New agreement to support newborn health adds sequencing lab services to the existing extraction services collaboration
The Generation Study, a research project spearheaded by Genomics England in partnership with the National Health Service, is a landmark national initiative aimed at screening up to 100,000 newborns for more than 200 rare genetic disorders. The findings will help inform future decisions on using whole genome sequencing (WGS) in newborn screening. Proactive genomic screening could help healthcare professionals identify risks for pediatric-onset conditions sooner, enabling earlier interventions and personalized care.
“It is an honor to enhance our collaboration with Genomics England as we align to expand access to genomic sequencing in
“This collaboration is an important step forward in our mission to generate evidence on the use of genomic sequencing in newborn screening. By working with Revvity as one of our sequencing partners for the Generation Study, we can integrate sequencing alongside extraction, streamlining the process, and generating results more efficiently, helping families get answers and access to care sooner,” said Dr. Ellen Thomas, chief medical officer at Genomics England.
