OSLO, NORWAY, 17 February 2023 - Genetic Analysis AS ("GA" or "the Company") hereby publishes the year-end report for the period 1 January - December 31, 2022. The year-end report is available as an attached file to this release and on the Company's website. Below is a summary of the report.
Ronny Hermansen, CEO of Genetic Analysis, comments:
"Interest in and awareness of microbiome diagnostics are continuously increasing, which we have seen great examples of during 2022. The FDA approval of the microbiome-altering drug by Ferring affiliate Rebiotix Inc was a major milestone for the patients and the microbiome industry. The need for accurate gut microbiota diagnostics will be even more urgent and represents an excellent opportunity for GA-map®. We are thus experiencing high momentum in the research community, the global market, and our relationships with existing and future strategic partners. I am proud of all the hard work done by the GA team and want to thank the board, colleagues, and shareholders for following us on our exciting journey! Thanks to everyone for the past year!"
