Our Science & Technology

Integrating genomics, molecular biology, bioinformatics, and computational intelligence to personalize cancer care.

Understanding Cancer Beyond the Diagnosis

Cancer is not a single disease.

Even when two patients are diagnosed with the same cancer type, their tumours can have different genetic alterations, molecular pathways and biological behaviours. Precision oncology seeks to understand these differences.

Genomics + Molecular Biology + Bioinformatics + Clinical Information

By combining these disciplines, it becomes possible to investigate the molecular characteristics of individual cancers. Shansons Precix focuses on the scientific potential of precision oncology to support:

✦ Cancer characterisation
✦ Molecular profiling
✦ Biomarker identification
✦ Mutation analysis
✦ Treatment-response research
✦ Pharmacogenetic assessment
✦ Disease monitoring
✦ Personalised therapeutic strategies
Precision Oncology Molecular Profiling
✦ MOLECULAR DRIVER PROFILING

Comprehensive genomic profiling and targeted treatment strategy selection.

Cancer Pharmacogenetics

Understanding How Genetics Influences Treatment Response.

Patients can respond differently to the same medicine. Genetic differences can influence:

  • Drug metabolism: Variations in hepatic enzymes (CYP450, DPYD, TPMT).
  • Drug transport: Membrane influx and efflux pumps affecting cellular uptake.
  • Drug targets: Receptor affinity and pathway sensitivity.
  • Treatment response & adverse effects: Mitigating severe toxicity.

Our Focus

Shansons Precix explores cancer pharmacogenetics as a pathway towards more informed treatment decisions. Our research focus includes:

Drug-response biomarkers Pharmacogenomic profiling Treatment resistance Personalised therapy research

Genotype-to-Dosing Matching

Evaluating inherited polymorphic variants to predict therapeutic window and clear drug metabolites safely:

DPYD Variants (*2A, *13) 5-FU & Capecitabine Risk
UGT1A1 (*28, *6) Irinotecan Toxicity
TPMT / NUDT15 Thiopurine Myelosuppression
CYP2D6 Poor Metabolizers Tamoxifen Efficacy Profile
