Our Mission
Accelerating personal genomics by providing an open standard platform
to enable scalable and secure genomic 2.0 applications.
(based on the only ISO genomic standard, which we significantly contributed to shape)
Bring Genomics into the Digital Age
GenomSys takes genomics into the digital age with its MPEG-G compliant solutions. Supporting labs to cope with growing data volumes and the need for faster, reliable results. Furthermore, we are building a bridge between experts and individuals, enabling convenient and comprehensive use of genomic analysis.
Personalized Medicine
One-size-fits-all has been the basis of medicine – thanks to advancements in medicine and genomics, that’s no more the case, as nobody is equal to anyone else, and drugs act differently based on DNA. GenomSys enables everyone to access and check its DNA whenever and wherever they need it.
Security and Interoperability
GenomSys leverages MPEG-G built-in encryption to ensure that everyone’s most sensitive information is carefully protected – and in their own hands – while adopting an international standard to guarantee full interoperability and hence to future-proof both customers’ data and its own solutions.
Our history
GenomSys is a Swiss health software company aiming at accelerating genomics and precision medicine by providing innovative digital-age applications for genomic data processing and analyses.
Founded in 2016 by a group of experienced engineers and bioinformaticians, the company is a pioneer in the development of open standards for genomic data storage and processing and in the implementation of compliant software and tools for its effective application.
GenomSys led and substantially contributed to the development and publication in 2020 of the new and only ISO standard for genomic data (ISO/IEC 23092 MPEG-G, “the MP3 equivalent for genomic data”), fostering innovation and interoperability.
More recently, GenomSys developed a software toolkit (GenomSys MPEG-G Tool Kit), enabling everyone to benefit from the new standard and an intuitive germline analysis platform (GenomSys Variant Analyzer) for genomic labs.
In 2024, we incorporated our subsidiary GenomSys Srl in Italy and established the MPEG-G Competence Center in Milan, where a team of computer engineers and bioinformaticians advances the development of the standard, creates cutting-edge software solutions, and provides technical support to our clients worldwide.
