NEW YORK, NY, Nucleus Genomics, a next-generation consumer genetic testing and analysis company, has raised $14 million in a new funding round led by Alexis Ohanian's Seven Seven Six.
Founded by Kian Sadeghi, Nucleus is building a DTC genetic testing platform that provides innovative genetic risk and disposition score analyses on an extensive number of diseases and traits by leveraging whole-genome sequencing (WGS). The company also believes in maximal data ownership and liberty by providing its users total autonomy over their genetic data.
Ohanian joins a lineup of investors across technology, healthcare, and media, including Founders Fund, Adrian Aoun (CEO, Forward Health), Brent Saunders (former CEO, Allergan), Patrick Hsu (Bioengineering Professor, UC Berkeley), Hugo Barra (CEO, Detect), Austen Allred (CEO, Bloom Institute of Technology), Packy McCormick (Founder, Not Boring), Shrug Capital, Alexandra Botez (influencer), Anthony Pompliano, and many others.
Nucleus is redefining DTC genetic testing. By combining polygenic scores with traditional rare variant DNA analysis, the company provides comprehensive assessments of genetic disposition across a myriad of diseases and traits. Nucleus' mission is to empower people to take agency over their health so no one dies from preventable disease -- that's why the company is building a platform based on cutting-edge science, where everyone has their genome in their pocket, complete clarity on their risks, and are empowered by personalized health measures. Nucleus is also bridging the gap between people, doctors, and scientists to help discoveries, therapies, and cures find their way to people faster.
