About Us
We’re a pioneering health tech company on a mission to revolutionise the way we all understand and support our health. Our mission is simple: to help people, and those who care for them, make better
decisions that lead to longer, fuller lives.
We focus on the common diseases that affect billions, the ones that put the greatest strain on our healthcare systems. Each person is unique, and by decoding the insights in our DNA, we’re building cutting-edge tools and platforms that enable truly personalised medicine. From prevention and early screening, to diagnosis, treatment, and even the development of new medicines – there is so much more to discover and build to support people at each step of their healthcare journey. With our leading science and brilliant partners, we can make healthcare smarter, more precise, and more personal. Our vision is bold: a world where everyone benefits from genomics.
If you’re inspired by the potential of cutting-edge science and technology – and want to have a real impact on the future of healthcare – we’d love to hear from you.
