Illumina is a global leader in genomics – an industry at the intersection of biology and technology. Our mission is to improve human health by unlocking the power of the genome. Through innovation and collaboration, we are enabling genomic breakthroughs and helping simplify the patient diagnostic odyssey.

We dream big. We strive to make solutions increasingly simple, more accessible and always reliable. As a result, discoveries that were unimaginable even a few years ago are now becoming routine – and are making their way into patient treatment.

What causes a cancer cell to mutate? What is the origin of a puzzling disease? Is it possible to prevent the next outbreak? Or safeguard the world’s food supply? These are just a few of the challenges that inspire us to push the boundaries of our imagination.
