At UTAGENE, we think about performing accurate diagnostic tests and precise personalized therapies as quickly as possible.
Nowadays, innovative methods for diagnosing and treating diseases are rapidly expanding. However, there are still some cancers and hereditary genetic diseases that have no definitive cure and can only be
controlled and somewhat alleviated if detected in a timely manner.
Given the importance of this issue, the company Utagene (Youtab*Gene) was established in 2021. Its main focus is on launching rapid diagnostic kits and point-of-care testing (POCT) by isolating and identifying the DNA of infectious agents. Utagene's first products, a coronavirus kit based on LAMP technology called Utaplex and a rapid extraction buffer for viral RNA called Utapure, received
knowledge-based certification and were showcased at international exhibitions such as Iran Health, Iran Pharma, and Iran Nano with the support of the Healthio accelerator, the Biotechnology Development Council, and the Micro and Nanotechnology Development Council.
These exhibitions marked an opportunity to represent the potential of Utagene to investors and attract sponsors. With the goal of providing Iranian people access to high-quality, cutting-edge treatments, we began the journey of localizing cell and gene therapy drugs. It is not an easy path, and while we are just starting out, we hope that the years of academic research experience from the Utagene team, combined with insights from the pharmaceutical biotechnology industry, will propel us forward.
The human capital at Utagene consists of a team of innovative scientists from various life science backgrounds, which is our main strength. Relying on this expertise has enabled us to provide bioinformatics and computational biology services to researchers, students, and innovators in this field, alongside our other company activities. These specialized services address a wide range of related
needs, and we hope that their unique quality and precision will attract the satisfaction and attention of our audience.
