First installation of a Thermo Fisher Scientific NGS platform in North Africa

28 January 2025 ─  /  Analytical Sciences  by Margaux COUDERT

 

 

Successful installation of the first Thermo Fisher Scientific Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) platform in North Africa for pre-implantation genetic testing (PGT) “In House” at the El Mawloud Medical Center in Oran, Algeria.

 

The El Mawloud Medical Center, specializing in Reproductive Medicine and Assisted Reproductive Technology (ART), takes a major step forward in enhancing fertility treatments. 👌

 

The integration of this cutting-edge technology optimizes treatments, increases the chances of successful embryo transfers, and reduces the risk of transmitting severe hereditary diseases. A significant advancement for couples facing reproductive challenges, with long-term benefits for both quality of life and healthcare costs.

 

A big thank you to the laboratory team for their warm welcome and trust, especially Dr. Belmahi Nadira and Dr. Mustapha Bachir BENZEGUIR, who are always at the forefront of innovation and passionately dedicated to improving infertility care in Algeria. 🙏

 

Congratulations to our experts Imad Eddine CHERIFI, Mehrez Jammazi, and Meftahi Nedra for the successful installation, supporting our clients in transforming the healthcare landscape in the region. 👏
