We make genomics happen.

Improving health by putting precision medicine into practice.

We bridge the gap between genomic innovation and clinical impact, accelerating the potential of precision medicine for all.

Genomics has focussed on translating data into insights – we’re here to turn insights into action and unlock real-world value.

We combine genomics, digital, and design to build data solutions that integrate genomic insights into existing clinical systems and workflows.

Our mission is to transform how genomics is used in practice, empowering health professionals with clinical actions and giving all patients access to precision medicine.

How we can help

For healthcare providers

Implementing genomics improves care and outcomes, whilst reducing long-term costs

The main challenge facing genomics is clinical implementation. The pace of innovation has overtaken the capacity of health systems to adapt and accept new scientific discoveries.

We build design-led digital genomic services that integrate with existing systems and workflows to drive adoption and population-level impact.

For life sciences

Accelerating the translation of genomic and digital technologies into commercial products

Accessing deep clinical and scientific expertise to guide innovation can be tough. Identifying impactful projects and maximising the likelihood of return is a priority for the life science sector.

We offer bespoke support bringing together expertise across domains to identify and create value for our clients.

For individuals

Improving the safety and effectiveness of medicines through easy at-home genetic testing (beta)

Medicines work well for some people, not at all for a few, and for others can even have harmful side effects. A lot of that is determined by our genes.

We provide access to easy at-home genetic testing in partnership with healthcare providers that will show you how you respond to commonly prescribed medications, improving the likelihood they work for you.
