SOPHiA GENETICS to build up an R&D hub close to Denver

SOPHiA GENETICS is regarded as one of the fastest growing start-ups in Switzerland and as one of the very few potential unicorns. Trusted by more than 1,000 healthcare institutions in 82 countries, SOPHiA GENETICS has created a collective intelligence for healthcare. So far, they’ve assisted the expert analysis of half a million patients’ genomic profiles globally. The company has about 400 employees, half of them working in Switzerland, the other half abroad.

In September 2018 the company opened its U.S. headquarter in Boston. Now a second hub in the U.S. will follow. “Our rapid market growth in the US is attributable to our ability to connect gaps that exist in the global medical industry by democratizing Data-Driven Medicine,” said SOPHiA GENETICS General Manager North America Kevin Puylaert. “Now, Denver and the great analytical minds we hire here will help us propel this mission forward. The central location of our new Colorado facility enhances our ability to serve new and existing US-based partners regardless of time zone.” SOPHiA GENETICS expects to reach its goal of 100 Aurora employees by 2022 and will begin its talent recruitment with a Denver event from March 30 – April 3, 2020.
