What we stand for

Our commitment to life-changing discovery and better health is driven by our passion for continual innovation and deep collaboration. Our actions are guided by these five principles:

Redefining possible

The genome has the potential to solve humanity’s biggest challenges. Our industry-leading technology enables researchers and clinicians to turn big dreams into impactful genomic discoveries that improve lives and change the course of diseases globally. Today that’s happening in oncology, genetic and infectious diseases, reproductive health and beyond.

Leading purposeful advances

Our passion for supporting customers and helping them achieve their goals guides what we do. Inspired by deep customer insights, we lead the way in delivering purposeful advances that address critical needs and support researchers and clinicians as they make life-changing breakthroughs and decisions.

Broadening impact with collaboration

Improving health at scale requires vision and collaboration with changemakers across the ecosystem. Together, we’re finding answers to life’s biggest questions and broadening the positive impact of genomics around the world.

Acting with integrity to benefit humanity

Doing the right thing is core to who we are and what we do. We have an unrelenting dedication to genomics for good, and hold ourselves to the highest standards in ethics, privacy, and security.

Accelerating access

Making genomics accessible is critical in realizing its potential to save and improve lives. That’s why we are committed to driving down the cost of sequencing, expanding access to advanced technology, and increasing the diversity of genomics data.

Our impact

We started in 1998 to make a difference. More than twenty-five years later, we continue innovating for the greater good.
