How we work

With a very well established infrastructure and processes, Mendelics has consolidated a quality management system focused on meeting international quality standards, audited on a yearly basis by nationally and internationally recognized entities.

Mission

To make genetic diagnosis fast, accurate, and accessible to everyone who needs it.

Vision

To be one of the main world references in genomic diagnosis and interpretation.

Values

Ethics, seriousness, honesty, reliability, commitment, dedication, accessibility, precision, efficiency, innovation.

Our History

Established in 2012, Mendelics is the first and largest Brazilian laboratory specialized in genetic diagnosis tests for rare diseases and cancer through the Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) technique.

We’re pioneers and leaders in Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) in Latin America, being the only Latin American genomic base laboratory to obtain accreditations from CAP (College of American Pathologists – No. 8671464), PALC (Program for Accreditation of Clinical Laboratories – # 11778564) and INMETRO in NBR/ISO-15189.

Awarded Platform

Mendelics was granted with the MIT award for innovation with Abracadabra®, a platform developed in-house to analyze the sequencing results of our patients’ samples.

By using artificial intelligence, Abracadabra® analyzes the genetic variants found in the samples and classify them according to their clinical relevance (from benign to pathogenic).

The analyses in Abracadabra® are exclusively carried out by geneticist physicians and other genomics analysis specialists, who are also responsible for elaborating the reports.
