Our Story

Our History

Founded in 2011 at Stanford, DNAnexus emerged from a simple but powerful belief: that great science, empowered by the right technology, can transform patient care. From our first genomic analysis pipelines to today's enterprise-scale precision health platform, we've stayed true to that founding vision.

Over the past decade, we've grown to support the world's leading research institutions, biopharma companies, and health systems — processing over 125 petabytes of precision health data and powering discoveries that matter.

In 2013, we partnered with the National Cancer Institute to power one of the world's largest genomic cancer research programs — a milestone that proved the DNAnexus platform could handle the demands of true population-scale science. That collaboration shaped everything that followed.

By 2018, our platform was processing more genomic data than any other cloud system in the world. We expanded our global footprint, opening data centers across Europe and Asia to meet regulatory requirements and accelerate scientific discovery closer to where patients live.

Today, DNAnexus supports over 130 enterprise customers — from top-ten pharma companies to national health systems — unified by one goal: turning genomic data into patient outcomes. Our story is still being written, one discovery at a time.

"

DNAnexus has fundamentally transformed how we handle massive genomic datasets. The platform provides the security, scalability, and collaborative tools necessary to accelerate our translational medicine initiatives globally.
