Synomics and Mars Petcare announce partnership.

A biological insights technology start-up, Synomics, has announced a partnership with Mars Petcare to create canine disease risk prediction models.

Synomics will analyse anonymised datasets compiled by Mars Petcare, in order to develop scoring models to predict an individual pet's risk of developing a condition. 

Using its proprietary technology, Synomics will develop these models to enable owners to monitor and manage conditions that their dog is predisposed to. 

Rebecca Chodroff Foran PhD, from Mars Petcare, said: “Similar to humans, pets suffer from many chronic conditions such as diabetes, kidney disease and arthritis that affect their wellbeing on a daily basis. 

“Early understanding of an individual animal’s risk may enable proactive monitoring by veterinary professionals as well as supporting pet owners with decisions on diet, lifestyle and management.”
