Company
Triesta Sciences
Triesta Sciences was founded in early 2002 by a group of US-
based clinicians and scientists to leverage the Indian clinical
substrate to address a key research bottleneck - "the clinical
validation of novel genomics-derived targets and markers".
Clinical validation - the comprehensive and conclusive correlation
Company
of a molecular signature pattern with a clinical phenotype and/or
Description a specific disease outcome. The clinical validation of a target or
marker is the next logical step towards the development of a
novel drug or diagnostic assay. The relative technological
maturation of gene expression and DNA analysis methods has
made it feasible to undertake large-scale validation studies.
