CENTOGENE Wins Award in Digital Healthcare Innovation for Artificial Intelligence (AI) Platform Leading Biomarker Discovery
December 23 2021 - 8:00AM
Centogene N.V. (Nasdaq: CNTG), a commercial-stage company focused
on generating data-driven insights to diagnose, understand, and
treat rare diseases, today announced that it has been awarded the
Health-i Award, which recognizes companies that are transforming
healthcare in Germany and beyond.
The Health-i Awards are sponsored by the Techniker Krankenkasse,
Germany’s largest German public health insurance provider, and
Handelsblatt, one of the leading business newspapers in Germany.
The Health-i Award winners were selected by industry and research
experts for initiatives that are transforming the next era of
healthcare through innovation.
CENTOGENE was awarded the prize based on its proprietary,
AI-powered biomarker platform, CentoMetabolome. The internally
deployed platform has the potential to revolutionize the detection
of new biomarkers – accelerating research that previously took
months to perform into just a few days. The use cases for the
CentoMetabolome platform include supporting full metabolome
screening, identifying biomarker candidates, and establishing a
better understanding of drug efficacy.
“We are proud to be recognized for our impact in the healthcare
industry and the innovation we are bringing with our unique leading
metabolomics platform,” said Carsten Ullrich, Ph.D., Senior
Director of Artificial Intelligence. “Working together across
several departments, we have been able to fully leverage
CENTOGENE’s expertise in omics, extensive global insights from our
rare disease-centric Bio/Databank, and advanced AI tools. As a
result, we can now analyze the dynamics of diseases to drive
biomarker discovery and test drug candidates as we continue our
mission to enable the cure of 100 rare diseases in 10 years.”
The continued development of AI initiatives, like
CentoMetabolome, represent another significant step forward for
CENTOGENE’s mission to enable the cure of 100 rare diseases within
the next 10 years. To learn more, visit:
