-- In Cambodia’s pursuit of greater scientific and healthcare self-reliance, Zentrogene Medical Laboratory is playing a pivotal role. Since my appointment as Chief Operating Officer, I have worked diligently to create a future where Cambodians no longer rely on foreign powers for essential healthcare services, particularly genetic testing.
For too long, Cambodian patients and healthcare providers faced the challenge of sending critical genetic samples abroad due to the lack of local technology and expertise. This dependency often resulted in delayed results, increased costs, and limited control over the outcome. At Zentrogene, we have transformed this scenario by creating a fully equipped genetic testing laboratory that now serves as a cornerstone of Cambodia’s medical independence.
Pioneering a New Era in Genetic Testing
At Zentrogene, our mission is to revolutionize genetic testing in Cambodia, empowering individuals and healthcare professionals with precise insights for proactive health management and personalized treatments. With the establishment of Cambodia’s most advanced genetic laboratory, we have achieved this goal. The lab is equipped with a Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) platform, a state-of-the-art facility, and a team of experts with international experiences and educational backgrounds from the UK, the US, China, and Hong Kong.
We now offer a range of genetic testing services that allow for faster, safer, and locally-controlled diagnostic results, eliminating the need for international outsourcing. These services include:
Genetic Testing:
- Non-Invasive Prenatal Testing (NIPT) — our flagship service
- Reproductive genetic testing (PGT, CNV)
- Carrier screening (e.g., thalassemia, SMA, G6PD, CF)
- Kinship testing (paternity, non-invasive prenatal paternity)
- Cancer predisposition (e.g., BRCA1/2)
- Pharmacogenomics (drug compatibility)
- Metagenomics (pathogenic microorganism detection)
- Personal genetic test (metabolism, sudden cardiac death risk)
- Post-transplant surveillance
Medical Testing:
- Quantitative PCR (qPCR)
- Hematology & Coagulation
- Biochemistry
- Serology & Immunology
By offering these services locally, we are able to reduce the dependency on foreign laboratories, ensuring that Cambodian doctors can rely on world-class testing right at home. This approach enhances the speed and efficiency of healthcare delivery, while also reducing costs and improving quality control.
A Strategic Asset for National Resilience
The mission of Zentrogene extends beyond individual healthcare. By localizing cutting-edge genetic capabilities, we are building a strategic asset for Cambodia, one that strengthens not only healthcare but also other critical sectors. It strengthens Cambodia’s national resilience by establishing a foundation for scientific innovation that serves various sectors, including public health, agriculture, environmental science, and scientific research.
Our advanced NGS technology supports:
- Public health surveillance and outbreak response
- Agricultural innovation and food security
- Biodiversity and environmental monitoring
- Scientific research and national policy-making
Through these efforts, Zentrogene is helping to build a self-reliant, scientifically empowered Cambodia - one that can address complex challenges with homegrown expertise and technology. In short, genetics is no longer a foreign asset we borrow; it is now a Cambodian strength we grow.
Supporting Cambodian Research and Innovation
Zentrogene is deeply committed to supporting the next generation of Cambodian researchers. We offer cost-free testing services and sequencing assistance to academic and scientific institutions conducting genetic research and precision medicine studies. Our goal is to foster an environment where Cambodian research thrives, using the latest technology and eliminating the need for outsourcing.
We actively seek partnerships with institutions across all ranges of sectors, ranging from healthcare to agriculture, environmental science, and public health. By empowering local researchers with cutting-edge technology, we are ensuring that Cambodia’s scientific future is in the hands of our own people.
A Commitment to Cambodia’s Future
In this moment, the importance of our national healthcare capability has never been clearer. Cambodia must not and will not depend on the other country that threatens our well-being in times of conflict. At Zentrogene, our dedication to Cambodia’s healthcare system and scientific growth is unwavering. With our state-of-the-art laboratory and world-class expertise, we are ensuring that Cambodians have access to the latest advancements in healthcare and genetic testing without relying on external sources. Furthermore, under the highly esteemed and visionary leadership of Samdech Moha Borvor Thipadei HUN MANET, Prime Minister of the Kingdom of Cambodia, the nation continues to enjoy peace and stability, which is a critical foundation for progress in healthcare and scientific innovation. His government’s clear vision has prioritized the development of a resilient healthcare system, the advancement of medical science, and the reduction of dependency on foreign services.
Our vision is one of national self-reliance in science and medicine, where Cambodia’s people are empowered by local solutions that are tailored to our unique needs. By continuing to advance the field of genetic testing, Zentrogene is proud to contribute to a stronger, more resilient healthcare system in Cambodia.
