With this agreement, the Mi Tres Torres Clinic is positioned as a reference center in Europe in Whole Genome Sequencing for healthy people, with a Unitthat will be led by Drs. Antonio González and Tomás Torres.

Veritas Intercontinental, subsidiary of Veritas Genetics, “The Genome Company”, will contribute to this agreement with its expertise in genetic counselling and diagnosis, the realization of genome sequencing and interpretation and the ad hoc training of Mi Tres Torres staff.

“The agreement with Veritas Intercontinental will allow us to strengthen our range of services, keeping us at the forefront of healthcare medicine with our first Genomic Medicine Unit in Spain, together with the world leader in Whole Genome Sequencing (WGS) and its interpretation” comments Gaby Masfurroll, CEO of Clínica Mi Tres Torres.

According to Javier de Echevarría, CEO of Veritas Intercontinental, Mi Tres Torres Clinic is a reference center in Europe for the quality of its professionals and the personalized care of its patients “and with this agreement both institutions will move forward to make the biggest  and most immediate challenge in healthcare real: Whole Genome Sequencing in the healthy population”.

For Dr. Gonzalez, this Unit of Genomic Medicine will be a key piece in the vision of the clinic, oriented to the promotion and personalized care of health “a field where Whole Genome Sequencing offers a vital roadmap that marks a before and a later in what we now understand as a long and healthy life “.

In this sense, Javier de Echevarría indicates that “we can play the game of life in two ways: blindly, reacting to events, or with the key information provided by the Genome that will allow us to anticipate, so that we can prevent diseases or detect them early, adapt ad hoc and improve their treatment and have a better, longer and healthier life “.
