The Science

The future of medicine is written in your genome

Genomic diagnostics reads the molecular blueprint of disease — enabling earlier detection, precise treatment selection, and therapies tailored to each patient's biology.

Earlier Detection: Identify cancer and inherited conditions before symptoms appear.
Treatment Precision: Match therapies to the molecular profile of each tumour.
Population-Level Insight: Build genomic data infrastructure relevant to African populations.

Genomic Services

Comprehensive molecular diagnostics across specialties

From oncology to rare disease, our network delivers clinical-grade genomic testing tailored to Africa's disease burden.

View All Tests →
🧬

Oncology Panels

Comprehensive somatic mutation profiling for solid tumors, hematological malignancies, and treatment selection.

💊

Pharmacogenomics

Identify how a patient's genetic makeup affects drug metabolism to optimize prescribing and reduce adverse events.

🔬

Inherited Disease Panels

Germline testing for hereditary cancer syndromes, cardiogenetic conditions, and rare monogenic disorders.

🧪

Whole Exome Sequencing

Deep interrogation of all protein-coding regions — the gold standard for rare and undiagnosed disease workups.

🩸

Liquid Biopsy

Non-invasive ctDNA analysis for early cancer detection, treatment monitoring, and minimal residual disease.

🦠

Infectious Disease Genomics

Pathogen whole-genome sequencing for outbreak surveillance, AMR profiling, and precision infection management.

How It Works

A coordinated genomics network — not a single lab

Life Readers orchestrates the entire diagnostic journey: from test ordering through sample logistics, lab coordination, and structured results delivery.

01

Clinician Orders Test

The ordering physician selects the appropriate genomic panel through the Life Readers portal.

02

Sample Collection & Logistics

We coordinate sample collection and cold-chain transport to the appropriate partner laboratory.

03

Lab Processing

Specialized partner laboratories run sequencing and analysis using validated, accredited workflows.

04

Results Delivery

Structured clinical reports are delivered securely to the ordering clinician, with interpretation support.

Why Clinicians Trust Us

Built to clinical standards

Data Privacy

All genomic data handled under strict HIPAA-aligned protocols and Kenyan data protection law.

Accredited Partners

We partner exclusively with ISO 15189 and CAP-accredited molecular laboratories.

Clinical-Grade Reports

Structured, actionable reports designed by medical geneticists and oncologists.
