We believe that there is an opportunity to build the defining software layer on top of technologies in genomics, just as Windows did for PCs and Android has for smartphones, and SOPHiA GENETICS is already leading in this field.
The platform is used today by over 300 hospitals and 1000s of clinicians globally, and to date has analysed genomic profiles of over 125,000 patients. The funding will accelerate SOPHiA’s vision is to build the world’s largest clinical genomics community.
