"We started Spectrum Biobank as a non-profit because our children deserve access to precision medicine.
A team of diverse geneticists, doctors, and industry experts have come together to ensure our children do. This is not a for profit company, full stop."

Did you know that 85% of DNA used in medical research is from donors of European descent?
Since research builds on research underrepresented communities are being left behind by genomics based precision medicine. Spectrum Biobank is focused on closing the Genetic Diversity Gap as the world's only diversity first biobank. We are achieving this by building trust through education and thoughtful collaboration that is ethically sound and culturally attuned the current state of genomics research in Non-European populations. Everyone who partners with us has full access and control of their DNA data and how it is used by researchers to make precision medicine equitable.

Self Sustaining
Mission
We’ve raised money from public foundations and private donors for our initial goal above. Longer term, we plan to be self-sustaining through mission aligned revenue generation. Based on learnings so far we believe matching DNA partners, with their consent prior to sharing any data to clinical trials provides a viable path to this goal. This enables our community to directly benefit from cutting edge treatments while also closing "The Genetic Diversity Gap".
