Unlocking personalised, preventative healthcare
GeneType is transforming healthcare from the one-size-fits-all model to a personalised, preventive approach.
By developing the next generation of integrated predictive genetic testing and assessment tools, we are empowering medical practitioners and their patients to proactively manage health.

Genetics for Life
GeneType’s mission is simple: to provide personalised, preventative healthcare solutions that may help individuals and their medical practitioners screen and reduce the risk of life-changing serious diseases.
Our publication record reflects the
scientific rigour behind our tests.
