GenomSys is a Swiss health software company aiming at accelerating genomics and precision medicine by providing innovative digital-age applications for genomic data processing and analyses.
Founded in 2016 GenomSys led and substantially contributed to the development and publication in 2020 of the new and only ISO standard for genomic data (ISO/IEC 23092 MPEG-G, “the MP3 equivalent for genomic data”), fostering innovation and interoperability.
More recently, GenomSys developed a software toolkit (GenomSys MPEG-G Tool Kit), enabling everyone to benefit from the new standard and an intuitive germline analysis platform (GenomSys Variant Analyzer) for genomic labs, both CE-marked IVD MD.
Our solutions reduce overall costs (storage needs -70%), speed data transmission, and analyses, facilitate data re-use, assure privacy and guarantee quality and robustness. Swiss-level safe, ISO-13485 quality certified.
GenomSys is headquartered in the Swiss Health Valley, at the center of a hub of technology and genomic innovation around the Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne and the Swiss Genome Center, and has an additional office and scientific center in Ticino, an emerging hub for innovation in biotechnology and digital developments in the south of Switzerland.
