Our mission

At Navigenics, we use the latest genetic science to illuminate the future of your health and provide you with the knowledge to change it for the better.

We believe that we can fundamentally improve health outcomes across the population by empowering people to act based on an understanding of their genetic predisposition for certain medical conditions.

Our mission is to help you live healthier, longer.

The company was founded in 2006 by David Agus, M.D. and Dietrich Stephan, Ph.D., with the overall goal of improving personal health. Our genetic testing services were born out of scientific discoveries initially made possible by the Human Genome Project, a 13-year federal and international collaboration to identify every single human gene. Our company analyzes your DNA for risk markers that may genetically predispose you to various health conditions, including breast cancer, type 2 diabetes, colon cancer and heart attack.

We believe that genetic testing and analysis will become the foundation and standard of care that will make personalized medicine a reality.

When you understand your DNA and how it affects your health, you have valuable information to help you catch health conditions early, reduce their effects or even prevent them entirely.

Because life is not just about living long, it's about living well.
