About

Our Mission

We exist to develop context-specific biotechnologies to improve precision medicine outcomes for healthcare systems in Low Resource Settings.

Our Vision

Enable the FAIR access to pathogen information by building Africa’s biggest centralized Antimicrobial Resistance data repository.

Our Story

Precision medicine should not be a preserve for patients of the developed world. Implementing successful precision medicine programs in socially non-inclusive backgrounds require cost-effective solutions. At the same time, for a doctor to recommend precision treatments, there is a need for personalized diagnostics tests that are locally and easily accessible. That is where we come in; Duplex Bioscience, a Ghanaian biotech startup is developing Africa’s biggest infectious disease digital repository containing the genomic atlas and phenotype data of resistant infectious bacterial pathogens. This database will unlock new paradigms in Antimicrobial Resistance research and help provide unique insights for community surveillance programs, biomarker discovery for personalized testing and antimicrobial therapeutics development by big pharma.
