Genedrive Diagnostics Ltd is a Manchester, England-based medical equipment manufacturer focused on pharmacogenetic testing. It develops rapid, simple-to-use tests that diagnose genetic variants at the point of need, supporting clinical decisions in emergency and acute care settings. Its flagship products, developed with NHS partners, are the Genedrive MT-RNR1 ID Kit, which can guide antibiotic choices in neonatal intensive care within about 26 minutes, and the Genedrive CYP2C19 ID Kit, which informs antiplatelet therapy decisions for stroke patients based on clopidogrel metabolism. These products reflect the company’s position in the pharmacogenetics segment of the medical equipment industry, emphasizing point-of-care testing in critical care contexts. The primary customers are clinicians and healthcare facilities seeking faster, genetics-informed treatment options, such as neonatal and stroke care teams. In September 2023, the company announced the appointment of James Cheek as chief executive officer.
