Access

Genomics should be available to the many, not the few. It has the power to save lives and vastly improve the human condition. As the leader in genomics, we have the obligation to drive down the cost of sequencing, expand access to diagnostics technology, and increase the diversity of genomics data to realize health equity for billions of people around the world.
