TUCSON, A.Z. – UGenome AI, a pioneer in genomic platforms to fuel personalized medicine, today announced a strategic partnership with Genetic Lifehacks to accelerate personalized genomic medicine for people everywhere who also want pharmacogenomic insights. This partnership takes a giant step forward for people everywhere who seek nutrigenetic and pharmacogenomic life hacks for their health.
Based on the sources provided, about 75% of U.S. adults are aware of genetic testing, and 19% have used it as of 2020 data (Tiner et al. 2022). The market is rapidly expanding, with over 37,000 current clinical tests available (Halbisen & Lu, 2023). While ancestry testing is popular, most tests are for clinical purposes (Tiner et al. 2022). Awareness and use vary by demographics, including race, ethnicity, and income, highlighting disparities (Tiner et al. 2022).
“We have been fans of Genetic Lifehacks for a long time and their capacity to make genetic insights meaningful to hundreds of thousands of people. For us to have the chance to make insights actionable through pharmacogenomics serves as one the key pillars of our long-term strategy to make genomic medicine personal and accessible”, said Zachary Brooks, PhD, founder and CEO of UGenome AI.
Genetic Lifehacks empowers individuals to transform their genetic raw data into personalized health and wellness strategies through science education and practical implementation. The platform bridges complex genetic research with actionable insights, providing users with research-backed optimization pathways tailored to their unique genetic makeup.
“Partnering with UGenome gives Genetic Lifehacks members access to advanced bioinformatics tools and pharmacogenomics research that have traditionally been available only to researchers and healthcare institutions,” said Debbie Moon, founder of Genetic Lifehacks.
“By working with Genetic Lifehacks, our clients can now optimize their health and wellness through valuable genetic insights. The scientific information from Genetic Lifehacks is incredible, and our clients will appreciate the value it brings to their lives,” said Jayden Lee, EMBA, PharmD, UGenome’s Chief Genomics Officer.
