🌍 Happy World Environment Day!

To mark the occasion, we're looking back at our Sustainability Day earlier this week at GenDx.

Through activities such as an item swap, and sustainability-themed conversation starters around the office, we created an opportunity to step away from our day-to-day work, have conversations we don't always make time for, and leave with fresh ideas and inspiration.

A highlight was our Food for Thought session with Susanne Kok from the Centre for Living Labs at Utrecht University, who shared how living labs bring together researchers, organizations, and communities to develop real-world sustainability solutions.

What sustainability topic, challenge, or idea have you been thinking about lately? 💭

We are ready for the big launch: meet GenDx Academy🎓

This project started a few years ago as an internal channel for our team. Whenever we had a product update or an internal training, we would record a video to keep our knowledge in one place. But the more content we created, the stronger the urge to share it beyond our offices became.

Today, the first version of GenDx Academy is available exclusively for our partners and customers. Inside, you will find:

🔬 Workflow videos
📚 Trainings on HLA essentials
🧩 Case study challenges
✨ And much more

Explore this unique learning opportunity and become part of the GenDx Academy community.

Exploring HLA in tumors: Introduction to HLA in healthy tissue and the tumor microenvironment Understand the significance of HLA in tumors and its potential in advancing HLA-restricted precision medicine therapies.

Single Locus HLA typing to maximize flexibility on ONT.

NGSgo®-ProntoFLX was designed with this goal in min, allowing labs to have the extra flexibility of singleplex or duplex formats.

"NGSgo®-ProntoFLX can be seamlessly integrated into labs that have already validated NGSgo®-ProntoAmp and NGS-ProntoPrep. But it can also easily be integrated if just used by itself.”
– Mattijs Punt, Jr Project Manager R&D.

High-quality HLA typing starts with reliable amplification🔬

To support laboratories in achieving fast and reliable results, we published a comprehensive application note demonstrating the powerful capabilities of the 𝐍𝐆𝐒𝐠𝐨-𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐨𝐀𝐦𝐩 𝐦𝐮𝐥𝐭𝐢𝐩𝐥𝐞𝐱 𝐚𝐦𝐩𝐥𝐢𝐟𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐚𝐬𝐬𝐚𝐲.

Whether your lab uses blood or buccal swab samples, NGSgo-ProntoAmp delivers a streamlined, high-throughput solution with excellent sequencing quality.

The 39th annual European Federation for Immunogenetics Conference 2026 brought together researchers, clinicians, and industry experts from around the world in Edinburgh to discuss the latest advances in immunogenetics and histocompatibility.

Our colleague Cynthia Kramer, PhD, Scientist at GenDx, attended the conference and shares her key scientific highlights below.
