Company mission

To help people access better treatments, faster.

Our take

Medical data has been a hot topic in recent years, and tech companies are finding new solutions to help patients take control of their illnesses and prescriptions. GeneHub is a genome sequencing storage and permissions startup, which helps users gain control of their medical data for use in drug studies.

GeneHub operates on the principle that 99% of people have at least 1 gene that reacts to drugs, making its services almost universal in reach. The DNA data-sharing platform uses anonymised patient gene data to help doctors and researchers make safer drugs and accurate doses, in turn reducing the potential for adverse reactions. Patients give consent to researchers to use their data in anonymised drug studies.

GeneHub is still in its infancy, having reached seed funding stages in 2023. It aims to expand and is currently offering early access to select patients as it R&Ds its product.

Company values

  • Bring patients benefits - Everything we do puts patients in a better place. They are at the core of what we do. This guides our product direction, strategy and decisions at GeneHub. We are guided by our long-term goals and patient benefits when we work
  • Be kind - We look after each other because we care about each other. We win together and lose together. We are a team and share accountability. We understand that our work is meaningful and always work to the best of our ability. Be kind and never stop caring
  • Be humble - We are humble because without it, we can’t see how to improve. Big egos lead to negative atmospheres and can be disruptive. Being humble enables us to grow, learn and push GeneHub forward
  • Be owners - We own our decisions so when we fail, we can improve. We believe anyone can do anything, they just need the right level of support. By enabling others to own decisions, we can celebrate successes and learn from failures. We don’t have all the answers, and that’s OK
  • Be brave - We change our game when we are on top of our game. It feels great to be on top of our game, we want to stay there. We continually improve and change to stay on top
