Epigenetics is a new area of research that opens great potential for comprehensive cellular analysis. Cygenia GmbH has established methods for various epigenetic biomarkers which are continuously further developed. The company was founded in March 2014. It is the first company to provide this kind of service on epigenetic biomarkers. Several of the assays have been designed at RWTH Aachen University Medical School in Aachen, Germany (patents pending). Cygenia addresses particularly scientists and clinicians. The results are provided in a
ready-to-publish format. Cygenia GmbH is also very open to all kinds of scientific cooperation on these assays or beyond.
