Company mission
To make accessing biological information less complex, costly and cumbersome and provide actionable information for everyone.
Our take
Chronomics is a tech-bio company that has built the world’s first plug-in, end-to-end bio-infrastructure platform. This is able to radically simplify, speed up and scale how organisations integrate biomarker diagnostics into their products and service offerings - driving value and improving outcomes.
Until 2020, Chronomics' primary market was epigenetic testing, but in recent years Chronomics's market-focus shifted massively towards COVID-19 testing. Its bio-infrastructure was able to be used to provide self-served Covid tests. Now a key provider of Covid tests, Chronomics has rapidly become a major player in this market, demonstrating the success of the bio-infrastructure it built.
Chronomics' bio-infrastructure, however, has many other uses outside of Covid testing. It's being used to power diagnostics for telehealth; create scientific diet plans in meal tracking apps; transform how people sleep with personalised supplements; customise skincare; and fitness routines and facilitate safe travel and work during the pandemic. Chronomics is enabling businesses to offer products which are truly unique to their customers, with scientific proof it really works.

- Our people work really hard to make us successful, which is why we like to pay you back in ways that make you feel genuinely valued. We surveyed everyone at Chronomics before putting together our benefits package to find out what really matters to them, beyond the usual work laptop and tech kit, 25 days annual leave and pension scheme membership
- In this era of remote working, we like to make sure you’re fully cared for away from the workplace through Hofy home office set-up, including a generous monthly budget for rental equipment, as well as global and unlimited access to Flydesk co-working spaces.
- And just because we’re a predominantly remote-working business doesn’t mean we don’t love getting together too, through our social events every summer and Christmas and to celebrate all our milestone achievements - any excuse really!
Company values
- Culture - We're about openness, integrity, accessibility and great communication so these should be qualities you have too. The usability of our products, open exchange of ideas with our collaborators and the commitment to our customer's data ownership are values we won't budge on, so our people reflect this as well
- Remote first - The global pandemic has changed things for everyone, but we’ve always been a pretty flexible bunch. We recognise, respect and trust the work each of us does, and how that fits in with our lives outside of work, which is just as important as our business. You won't find micro-management or pettiness on our watch
- Can’t stop, won’t stop - We asked some of our Chro’nomes ‘What song best describes Chronomics?’, and the playlist they came out with is great! Have a listen for an audio experience of what it’s like to work at Chronomics: https://tinyurl.com/ChrognomesPlaylist
