Read-Gene
Cancer genetics & prevention · Cancer predisposition
Overview
Genetic testing and prevention programs for hereditary cancers, built on Prof. Lubiński's oncogenetics research.
What they do
Read-Gene S.A., founded in 2005 and headquartered in Szczecin, commercialises methods for detecting, preventing and treating cancers based on genetic testing. It assesses whether individuals carry inherited predispositions to malignancies and translates that into cancer-prevention programs. The company is closely tied to the International Hereditary Cancer Center (IHCC) at the Pomeranian Medical University.
Lead program & status
Read-Gene's work is built on the oncogenetics research of Prof. Jan Lubiński, who leads the IHCC and serves as the company's president. The IHCC has assembled one of the world's largest hereditary-cancer databanks, reportedly comprising over a million records and DNA samples from roughly 120,000 individuals. Read-Gene's offering centres on hereditary-cancer predisposition testing (such as BRCA and other risk genes) coupled with prevention and surveillance programs. The company is listed on the Warsaw Stock Exchange's NewConnect market under the ticker RDG.
Why it matters
Identifying inherited cancer risk lets at-risk individuals enter intensified screening or preventive care before disease develops. By linking a leading academic oncogenetics center to a commercial vehicle, Read-Gene aims to bring that research-grade hereditary-cancer expertise into routine prevention.
