After little more than a week at Navigenics, I have had the chance to touch the power of genomic science.
For thousands of years, people have searched for ways to see their future, turning to shamans, palm readers, tarot cards and horoscopes. And the answers that they got were useful if they believed in how they got them, but to a “scientific” observer they were answers without proof.
In the past 20 years, genomic science has unlocked many of the “secrets” about us, and in the past few years, that science has allowed us to translate discoveries into practical guidance.
And that is what Navi is all about – a practical way of “knowing” through genetic testing about future health risks and the actionable paths that enable each one of us to be the best that we can and want to be.
It is an amazing time – and it is powerful to be able to see inside of yourself.

jonathan, welcome to the company and, from what i’ve read and heard, navigencis has a lot to look forward to as more and more people understand that they have real opportunities to learn more about what’s coming down the line.
