Codex Center

At Codex Labs, we are following all current advice provided by the Egyptian Government, local health authorities and the World Health Organization (WHO), and taking extra precautionary steps to ensure the health and safety of our laboratory staff and customer service team to minimize any disruption to testing.

We understand that the healthcare system is stretched, and as such some patients may feel isolated and not sure of where to turn. We are not directly involved with COVID-19 testing, thus able to continue our core business – which is providing state-of-the art diagnostic testing for both newly diagnosed cancer patients or patients that are dealing with a recurrence.

We also understand that for many of our patients and their family and friends, we understand that you may be wondering how best to protect yourself during this time. Codex Labs is pleased to be able to supply our patients with Care Packs, containing surgical grade masks and gloves.

Please be advised our laboratory is still operational, and we are currently not experiencing any delays with processing of samples.

We have many tests available, some which can be used to track your progress using a simple blood draw as well as monitor your immune system both during and after treatment. We have access to a group of oncologists that can help interpret results for you via tele-health consultations. We also have access to integrative medicine specialists who can assist with your navigation through the health maze. For patients located in Cairo, we can also help arrange home visits for collection of your blood sample for testing.

Please call us on +201001413179 for more information on how we can help.

Pharmacogenomics (Drug Response)

The Pharmacogenomics test is your one test for life. The test will cover your metabolic response to medications at all stages in life, and can be referred back to at any time regardless of your age or health status. Pharmacogenomics is the analysis of how genes affect a person’s response to drugs. As everyone has a unique genetic makeup, this can affect how you will respond or react to certain medications. Through pharmacogenomics testing, individualised medicine treatment plans can be developed based on each patient’s genetic makeup, to determine optimal drugs and dosages, and limit harmful side effects.

Nutrigenomics & Sports DNA:

Your Personal Guide to Nutrition, Sports and Lifestyle Based on Your Genes

When it comes to diet and lifestyle, we cannot use a “one size fits all” approach.  The Nutrigenomics & life style analysis provides an individually tailored, diet and lifestyle plan developed according to your genes.

This can help you align your lifestyle with your genes in the fields of personalized nutrition, sport, rejuvenation and health.

The report is based on scientific findings from the field of nutrigenomics. nutrigenomics focuses on how changes in a person’s genetic makeup can influence their dietary and lifestyle needs.

By examining your genetic predispositions, the analysis will help you discover your needs of important micro and macronutrients, your metabolic activity and your response to physical activity.

Your personal analysis captures key elements of diet and lifestyle, including:

Influence of diet on body weight (Nutrigenomics); Genetic factors can influence feelings of satiety (fullness), weight-loss/ regain and how your body responds to different types of fats and carbohydrates. Based on your genetic makeup and these factors, the test can recommend what diet type is best suited to you.

Sports and Recreation (DNA sports); Genetic

factors do not only contribute to athletic performance but also to different workout results for different individuals. The analysis can provide insight into your muscle structure and what type of training is beneficial for you.

Skin Rejuvenation; By understanding your genetic disposition to wrinkles, cellulite and other skin conditions, you can eliminate, reduce or delay symptoms and prolong a youthful appearance through the diet and treatments plans recommended in your results.

Cardiovascular Health; Your genetic makeup can affect how you metabolize omega-3 fatty acids and how your body regulates insulin levels. Knowing your genetic predisposition to these and following diet recommendations can improve your cardiovascular health.

 

Your Personalized Results

Your results will be delivered as a comprehensive and personalized guidebook.  Your guide starts with an overview of your results and a guide on how to interpret them.

For each analysis, it will contain your personal genetic results, and recommendations and guidelines for incorporating changes into your lifestyle to best suit your genetic predispositions.

The report is concluded with an overview of the tested genes, a glossary of terms, a list of scientific sources and nutritional charts to help you construct a suitable diet plan.
