Crown Princess Katherine Delivers a Sequencer for Testing Cancer Genes to the Institute for Oncology and Radiology of Serbia

The Institute for Oncology and Radiology of Serbia received a valuable sequencer of the latest generation, which until now no health institution in our country had. It is a device which has the ability to test cancer genes. To purchase this machine the Foundation of Her Royal Highness Crown Princess Katherine allocated $60,000, Astra Zeneka $30,000 and Hemofarm Foundation $25,000 dollars. This sequencer allows simultaneous analysis of multiple genes and multiple samples of patients, which enables efficient testing of hereditary predisposition to breast and ovarian cancer and significantly shortens the time of analysis.
