Asuragen Presents During the 2022 Industry Updates Keynote at the 18th International Fragile X Conference
Stela Filipovic-Sadic, a manager of Research & Development at Asuragen, presented Asuragen’s molecular testing capabilities for FMR1 and Fragile X, and showed how new technologies drive progress in the field. Asuragen has been a part of the Fragile X community for years. Their tests have been used to help patients, clinicians, and researchers aid in diagnosis, screen potential carriers, stratify risk of Fragile X being passed onto the next generation, and connect patients to new therapies.
