Our mission
Our mission is to transform human health and the world we live in by developing innovative technologies that unleash the potential of genomics.
The problem: noise
Genomic analysis remains slow and complex, with only a tiny fraction of genomic data providing useful insights. Identifying this information is equivalent to finding a needle in an enormous haystack, requiring complex and costly bioinformatics.
Biofidelity's solution: reduce the noise
Our revolutionary technology fundamentally changes the way genomic analysis is conducted. By eliminating uninformative DNA, our products massively reduce the time, cost, and complexity of genomic analysis, improving accuracy and enabling faster and simpler decision-making.
Biofidelity – accelerating the genomics revolution.
