This year the Pécs-Baranya Chamber of Commerce and Industry granted our company the Baranya County Innovation Award.
The Pécs-based iBioScience Kft. was founded in 2019 by Károly Fehér to boost the local biotechnology industry. The fact that his son was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes in the same year, which according to our current knowledge is an incurable disease that requires regular medication and continuous medical attention, played a major role in his decision. The company has set up a joint laboratory at the Szentágothai János Research Centre. Their mission is to provide genomics services to academic research groups and local companies in the biomedical field. With their state-of-the-art facilities and unique diagnostic solutions, they are able to provide answers to the identification of genetic abnormalities that cause hereditary diseases and cancer. In addition, they have been instrumental in accelerating COVID diagnostics in Southern Hungary by automating PCR testing during the COVID outbreak.
