The Mission:
Why We Exist

Genomics is a science-led transatlantic Tech Bio combining large-scale genetic and health data with proprietary analytics to accelerate drug discovery and advance predictive, preventative healthcare. We are united by a single vision to help people live longer, healthier lives, using the power of genomics.

Genomics aims to help people live longer, healthier lives in two ways: super‑charging drug discovery and development for novel treatments with our AI-enabled advanced genetic analytics platform, and by helping people understand their personal risk of common chronic diseases through polygenic risk scores – giving doctors and health systems the chance to get the right people into the right prevention, screening and treatment programmes at the right time.
