  • Early detection of birth defects can help parents manage their pregnancy plans better.

Be prepared. They also offer multicancer detection, personalized cancer tracking, and precision cancer treatment. 

How to Gen(Love) yourself better? They can also analyze your skin, metabolism, and your physical ability through their GenLove programs.

🥠 Future plans? 

They’re looking to top up with $50M by this year to accelerate expansion in the region!

  • They’re also going to open an oncology laboratory in Singapore this November for cancer research.
