Basic Information

Lifecode is a professional clinical laboratory focused on the genetic basis of human diseases. By utilizing next-generation sequencing (NGS) technology and advanced bioinformatics, we deliver timely clinical information aimed at assisting doctors in making optimal treatment decisions for patients. With the advent of personalized medicine, today’s physicians face the challenge of managing vast amounts of new data and information, adding complexity to their daily treatment decisions. The rapid advancement of medicine has led to thousands of new publications, thousands of clinical trials, and dozens of new drugs that may or may not be suitable for specific patients. By providing expertise in bioinformatics and "complex data" to organize massive amounts of new information in real time, Lifecode will enable physicians to provide the right treatment for the right patient at the right time. Although Lifecode technology can be applied to many areas of healthcare, our initial focus is oncology. In the United States alone, 1.6 million people are diagnosed with cancer each year, and more than 14 million people live with the disease. Rapid advancements in next-generation sequencing, biomarker analysis, and new drug development will offer opportunities to meaningfully extend the lives of cancer patients.At Lifecode, our mission is to help significantly improve the lives of these cancer patients by providing concise, accurate, and actionable molecular information.
