Are you passionate about building a laboratory that changes the way infectious diseases are detected and treated over the coming decade?

We're on a mission to connect an entire ecosystem to redefine how molecular data is used in clinical settings. 

Moreover, we are leveraging technology and data to fight against COVID-19 and to build a system to ensure that future pandemics can be detected and treated faster, more effectively and with better use of data.
