QIAGEN Digital Insights (QDI), a leader in bioinformatics software and biomedical knowledge, has introduced Pharmacogenomic Insights (PGXI), a new knowledgebase designed to help researchers understand how genetic variations impact drug responses. PGXI streamlines the analysis of pharmacogenomic markers, accelerating drug development and personalized treatment.
Built on a proven platform responsible for delivering over 1.6 million pharmacogenomic annotations to 250+ clinical labs, PGXI consolidates data from key sources, including the FDA, CPIC, DPWG, PharmVar, and PubMed. This unified repository provides up-to-date, evidence-based insights, enabling users to query gene-drug associations and genotype-linked conditions swiftly.
The tool automates complex genetic analysis, identifying haplotypes and diplotypes—key to understanding individual drug responses—while producing standardized, easy-to-interpret reports. This ensures faster, more confident decision-making, integrating seamlessly into existing workflows without the need for technical expertise.
“Researchers often face challenges accessing scattered pharmacogenomic data,” said Dominic John, Head of QDI. “PGXI addresses this by offering a single, continuously updated resource, allowing users to quickly generate actionable insights.”
By cutting the time required for pharmacogenomic analysis from hours to minutes, PGXI transforms precision medicine, empowering researchers to reduce side effects, improve drug efficacy, and personalize therapies more efficiently. With 25+ years of experience, QDI supports over 90,000 users and 4 million profiled patient cases worldwide, driving breakthroughs in healthcare through scalable, intuitive bioinformatics solutions.
