About Invitae Corporation
Invitae's mission is to reinvent genetic testing by making it more affordable and accessible than ever before. Invitae hopes to lead the way from an era of genetic scarcity to genetic abundance to significantly improve healthcare worldwide. Specializing in genetic diagnostics for hereditary disorders, the company is pursuing a strategy over the next several years to aggregate all the world's medical genetic tests (>3,000 known Mendelian inherited conditions) into a single assay at a lower cost than most single gene tests today. This capability is increasingly enabled by the rapid advancements in DNA sequencing technology. Invitae has raised $87 million from investors, including Thomas McNerney Partners, Casdin Capital, Genesys Capital, Genomic Health, Inc. (NASDAQ: GHDX), Redmile Group, and Randy Scott.
