About the Company
Gene Matrix is the Kingdom's first integrated GMP facility for locally-manufactured PCR diagnostic reagents — built against six international quality frameworks and aligned with Saudi Vision 2030.
The Opportunity
Saudi Arabia imports the vast majority of its molecular diagnostics. Vision 2030 calls for sovereign, high-quality manufacturing of critical health technologies.
Facility & Quality
Gene Matrix operates a 700 m² GMP facility in Modon Oasis, Jeddah — ISO 5 (Grade A) cleanroom inside ISO 7 (Grade C), aligned with SFDA ISO 13485 WHO GMP.
Diagnostics Portfolio
Four flagship multiplex PCR kits, manufactured in-Kingdom, aligned with national priorities — women's health, sexual health, public health, and oncology:
- Women's Health HPV Detection Kit — 14 high-risk genotypes, multiplex real-time PCR for HPV detection across 14 high-risk genotypes, supporting cervical-cancer screening pathways.
- Sexual Health STI 12-Panel — Twelve sexually transmitted infections, a single multiplex assay covering twelve clinically relevant STI targets, designed for high-throughput laboratory workflows.
- Public Health Dengue Detection — DENV-1, 2, 3 and 4 serotypes, real-time PCR for differential detection of all four dengue serotypes, strengthening Hajj-season surveillance and outbreak response.
- Oncology Colorectal & Pancreatic ctDNA — Liquid biopsy for oncology, circulating tumour DNA assay supporting non-invasive monitoring in colorectal and pancreatic oncology pathways.
Leadership
Founded and led by Dr. Burhan Fakhurji — Saudi biotechnology pioneer, academic, and serial entrepreneur with 20+ years across virology, molecular biology, genomics, and medical innovation.
Strategic Partnerships & Growth
Distribution, hospital and tech-transfer partnerships across the GCC and MENA — and a long-term centre of excellence for molecular diagnostics in Jeddah.
Health Sovereignty
Reducing dependency on imported diagnostics by manufacturing high-quality PCR kits at home — strengthening Saudi Arabia's resilience against disease outbreaks and supply-chain risk.
Validated Science
Multiplex real-time PCR designed and validated against international clinical references — including HPV genotyping, dengue serotyping, an STI 12-panel, and oncology ctDNA assays.
Strategic Alignment
Built in line with the Saudi Vision 2030 Health Sector Strategy, the Localisation Programme, and the National Industrial Development & Logistics Programme (NIDLP).
