Work has begun on an advanced healthcare diagnostic centre in Liverpool, the flagship headquarters of Rutherford Diagnostics. It is located in Knowledge Quarter Liverpool at Liverpool City Council’s £1 billion Paddington Village Development. As the first in a network of centres, it aims to address the shortage of diagnostic provision in the UK resulting in patients waiting weeks for test results.
At the heart of Rutherford Diagnostics will be the recording of whole genome sequence data which will be used to predict disease, susceptibility, and treatment and drug response. The core technologies Rutherford Diagnostics will provide include spectral CT, digital PETCT, 3.0T MRI, ultrasound, endoscopy, and a commercial genomics laboratory.
