We are driving access to STEM education
The future of our mission is reliant on nurturing and equipping the next generation. Through direct programming, nonprofit partners, and engaging our employees, we aim to enable educators to be advocates of genomics and inspire learners to envision themselves as our future STEM leaders.
In honor of DNA Day, which is celebrated on April 25, we host The Future Is Bright – a month-long genomic literacy initiative. Illumina employees connect with students by hosting career panels, implementing genomics curriculum, and leading hands-on experiments.
Investing in our communities
At Illumina, we support organizations around the globe through our granting program. For more information, visit our application page.
