Center for Cytogenetics

The Center for CytoGenetics, Inc. was a private clinical laboratory and contract research organization (CRO) based in Nashville, Tennessee, that specialized in genetic and molecular testing services. The company provided a comprehensive suite of diagnostic tools, including chromosome analysis (cytogenetics), fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH), and flow cytometry, primarily focused on cancer diagnosis and genetic screening. In April 2006, the company was acquired by NeoGenomics, Inc., a leading provider of oncology-focused genetic testing, to serve as a regional laboratory hub and expand its service footprint in the southeastern United States. The integration allowed NeoGenomics to leverage the center's specialized expertise and laboratory facilities to improve turnaround times for regional clients in the rapidly growing field of personalized medicine.
