Who We Are
We’re transforming trauma care with innovative solutions that detect and address trauma-induced conditions before symptoms emerge. Through our groundbreaking Trauma Autoimmune Indicator (TAI) test, we bridge the gap between mental and physical health, empowering healthcare providers to deliver proactive, data-driven care that prevents long-term suffering.
Our Story
On February 10th, 2010, Founder Dr. Joe Ng survived an on-campus shooting in the Biology department at the University of Alabama in Huntsville (UAH). During a staff meeting, Joe’s colleague pulled a handgun and shot her co-workers, killing three of them. Following the shooting, Joe noticed a spectrum of resilience among the survivors, and the research began.
What We Do
At iXpressGenes, we’re dedicated to transforming the way trauma-induced diseases are detected and prevented. We’ve discovered critical biomarkers that give us the ability to identify these conditions early—long before symptoms manifest. So what does that mean? It means we’re not just reacting to the impacts of trauma, we’re getting ahead of them.
Why This Test?
We focus on the roots rather than the symptoms. At the core of our approach is the ability to analyze RNA transcriptomes, which allows us to trace the dysregulation of specific proteins that play a vital role in the immune system, giving us deeper insights into how trauma affects the body at a molecular level.
Our work matters because trauma doesn’t always show up when and how you expect it. People live with invisible wounds that can’t be seen through traditional methods. We’re changing that. By analyzing specific immune profiles, we can provide early intervention, preventing the long-term effects that trauma so often leaves behind. Informed by cutting-edge research, this is about giving people the chance to heal before they even know they need to. We will empower individuals, healthcare providers, and communities to take control of trauma-related health issues in a way that’s never been possible before.
