Discovering the true signals of disease to power life-changing medicines

Take part in the Study of Genetic Causes of Inherited Disease

Better medicines, proven by genetics

90% of potential drugs fail, often because they lack the genetic evidence to prove they will work. Sequence Bio is on a mission to change that.

By studying the inherited causes of disease, we aim to identify the right drug targets and predictors of disease and treatment response from the start—ensuring transformative medicines reach the people who need them.

The Newfoundland and Labrador advantage

In Newfoundland and Labrador, our research is powered by founder effects that bring the genetic drivers of disease into focus.

By pairing these insights with deep clinical and family health histories, we can move beyond association to causal evidence—linking genes to disease with a level of confidence that pushes discovery forward.

Taking on inherited disease, together.

We are studying the genetics of families in Newfoundland and Labrador to understand how certain diseases are inherited, helping our search for better diagnostics, preventions, and treatments for people here at home and around the world.

Partnerships

Our partnerships unite local healthcare expertise with global leaders in life sciences to accelerate the path from novel genetic insights to life-changing medicines.
