Research
& Pharma Services

Comprehensive DNA and RNA sequencing, biomarker discovery, and clinical trial support for oncology research and pharmaceutical partners.

Genomic Testing Cooperative provides research and pharma partners with advanced molecular testing services, AI-supported analysis tools, and scientific support for oncology research projects and clinical trials. Our DNA and RNA sequencing assays can be tailored to specific study requirements and expanded as projects evolve.

Key Service Areas

GTC supports retrospective studies, prospective clinical trials, biomarker discovery, companion diagnostic development, and customized assay design across solid tumors, hematologic malignancies, liquid biopsy, molecular and traditional IHC assays, and AI-driven interpretation workflows. Our cooperative model also provides access to a broader network of laboratories and institutions that can support multi-site testing, trial enrollment, and assay transfer when needed.

Oncology Research Support

GTC supports research projects in solid tumors, hematologic malignancies, immuno-oncology, liquid biopsy, and molecular profiling. Our laboratory capabilities include DNA sequencing, RNA analysis, next-generation sequencing, Sanger sequencing, IHC support, bioinformatics, and customized assay development.

Clinical Trial Support

For clinical trials, GTC can support both retrospective and prospective study designs. Our team can help analyze archived samples, generate molecular data from new samples, support patient stratification, and provide testing workflows that align with trial-specific requirements.

Biomarker Discovery and Classification

GTC’s integrated DNA and RNA testing approach can help identify genomic alterations, expression patterns, fusion events, alternative splicing, immune-related features, and other biomarkers relevant to therapy response, resistance, classification, and clinical trial development.

AI and Bioinformatics

GTC offers AI-supported and deep learning-based tools that can assist with biomarker cutoffs, responder and non-responder analysis, data interpretation, and customized research algorithms. Bioinformatics support can be included, or raw data files can be provided for analysis with a partner’s own tools.

How GTC Can Help

Retrospective Trials

GTC can help research and pharma partners analyze molecular data from past trials to gain deeper insight into tumor biology, therapeutic response, resistance patterns, and biomarker performance. Liquid biopsy can also be used to help categorize mutations from responders and non-responders, and GTC’s testing capabilities can support comparison with other companion diagnostic methodologies.

Prospective Trials

For prospective studies, GTC can support high-quality molecular data generation across tumor types using DNA and RNA analysis. Testing may include liquid biopsy for monitoring response to treatment, immune profiling, and multiple testing modalities such as FISH, IHC, flow cytometry, and cytogenetics when required by the study design.

Companion Diagnostics (CDx)

GTC’s validated assays and cooperative laboratory network can support companion diagnostic development, including projects that may require multi-site testing, assay transfer, and preparation for regulatory pathways such as the 510(k) process.

Liquid Trace®:
cfDNA & cfRNA

Liquid Trace® supports liquid biopsy applications for both solid tumors and hematologic malignancies. The assay includes broad DNA and RNA coverage, fusion detection, biomarker analysis, and viral DNA testing for applications such as HPV and EBV where relevant to the study design.

Solid Tumor Profile Plus™

Solid Tumor Profile Plus™ supports comprehensive molecular profiling of solid tumors using DNA and RNA analysis. The assay can support biomarker discovery, fusion detection, gene expression, alternative splicing, exon skipping, immune profiling, therapeutic insight, and clinical trial matching.

Hematology Profile Plus™

Hematology Profile Plus™ supports molecular profiling of hematologic malignancies, including leukemia, lymphoma, myeloma, MDS, CMML, AML, MPN, VEXAS-related investigation, and related research applications. The assay integrates DNA and RNA analysis to support classification, prognosis, therapeutic interpretation, and trial matching.

Immunohistochemistry and Additional Modalities

GTC can support IHC-related research workflows, including custom IHC, histology, and image analysis. Through collaborations, additional testing modalities such as flow cytometry, FISH, and cytogenetics may also be incorporated when required by the project.

Customized Assays
