Company - Phosphorus

A Genomics Platform That Powers Personalized Health for Patients and Individuals

Phosphorus is a leader in clinical-grade testing at scale. From provider genetics solutions to highly accurate COVID-19 testing, we provide the technology, infrastructure, and expertise to drive care initiatives. We work with physicians, healthcare organizations, employers, and practices to improve health outcomes.

Our Mission

Our mission is to extend and improve lives by making genomics a foundational part of everyone's health and wellness journey.

We pioneered Clinical Genomics as a Service to reduce the complexity of integrating genomics into everyday care.

Our comprehensive, flexible offering is the first to unlock a new market opportunity by simplifying and incentivizing the integration of clinical genomics into everyday patient care.

Now, the promise of genomics is not just affordable and accessible, but also integral to improved health and better care of patients everywhere.

The Beginning

Phosphorus was founded in 2016 by Alexander Bisignano and Dr. Santiago Munne, experts in medical genetics.

Bisignano and Munne wanted to bring constitutional genetics into everyday clinical practice, as this kind of testing was typically only being done for people when they were very sick already. Genetic testing is still very much underutilized, but Phosphorus’ goal is to make genomics part of every individual's healthcare journey.
