Malaysian Genomics Resource Centre Berhad (Bursa: MGRC, 0155), a
leading genomics and biopharmaceutical specialist, is pleased to
announce that the Group's wholly-owned subsidiary, MGRC
Therapeutics Sdn Bhd (MGRCT), is collaborating with Rinani Genotec
Sdn Bhd (Genotec) to offer sports-based genetic tests.
Genotec, a biomedical technology firm focusing on stem cell
treatment and genetic testing, now offers a direct-to-consumer
sports and fitness DNA test which enables individuals to better
understand their genetic profile in sports and fitness-related
areas. The test result includes categories such as energy
metabolism and utilisation, muscle performance, response to
cardiovascular training, weight management, nutrient metabolism,
bone and joint health, and mental ability and performance. The
information can then be integrated by individuals into their
lifestyle in order to improve their daily sport and fitness
performance.
The collaboration will see both parties consult and collaborate on
sports-based genetic profile testing and the marketing of these
services. In addition, Genotec will also work closely with MGRCT on
the marketing of Malaysian Genomics' full range of Dtect genetic
screening tests.
Dato' Alvin Joseph, Executive Director of MGRC, said, "This
collaboration is another important step towards realising our
vision of becoming a premier integrated life sciences company. By
partnering with experts in sports science, we have now pioneered a
genetic screening profile specifically designed for professional
and amateur athletes, and everyday fitness enthusiasts. The science
of genetics has a long history in professional sports and through
this new profile we can support sportspeople in their pursuit of
peak performance."
Mr. Julian Koay, Genotec's Director of Business Development, said,
"With Malaysian Genomics' experience in genetics, what we have
developed can be a game-changer for athletes and sports talents. We
will use this new sports genetic profile to personalise fitness,
sports and recovery regimes of sportspeople, to improve their
performance."
Founders of Genotec, Julian Koay and Watson Chung, are the first
certified DNA-based trainers in Malaysia, offering a unique
programme combining knowledge of individuals' genetic profiles with
a fitness or training regime that enhances the effectiveness of the
fitness or training programmes.
