Sachin Purohit, MD, Resilient Cosmeceuticals said, "Earlier, nutrigenomic testing was only limited to research, but now we are moving into an era of individual wellness support, based on our genetic make-up. Through this platform, we would be directly interacting with individuals and enabling them to lead a long and healthy life." Dr. Amol Raut, Head, Lab and R&D Operations, GeneOmbio Technologies said, "Environmental factors are rapidly changing every passing day affecting human health, and this has created need to devise personalized solutions for every individual as we all react differently.
