This year’s list shines a spotlight on businesses that are shaping industry and culture through their innovations to set new standards and achieve remarkable milestones in all sectors of the economy.\n\n“Since its inception 25 years ago, GeneDx has been the pioneer in bringing to life the promise of the Human Genome Project, and it’s an honor to be recognized for our ability to innovate at scale. Ultimately, our mission is to improve healthcare with the earliest diagnosis of genetic disease, made possible by the interpretation at scale of an individual’s genome,” said Katherine Stueland, President and CEO of GeneDx. “At GeneDx, patients are at the core everything we do, from improving clinical outcomes to delivering better health economics. As we look to the future, our innovation will fuel a future of genome-informed healthcare for everyone, from birth and through all stages of life.”\n\nAs the driving force behind scaling precision medicine, GeneDx is revolutionizing whole genome sequencing (WGS) to deliver faster, more accurate diagnoses to patients. With industry-leading innovations, GeneDx has slashed WGS turnaround time to as little as 48 hours, ensuring that critical answers reach patients and their families with unprecedented speed.\n\nGeneDx is also leading a transformative shift in newborn screening (NBS), redefining the standard of care through groundbreaking research from the GUARDIAN study —the largest of its kind to explore the power of genomic newborn screening (gNBS) in a diverse newborn population. While traditional NBS varies by state and relies on biomarker detection, it often fails to catch conditions that lack clear biomarkers, leaving too many children undiagnosed until symptoms appear. This outdated approach is fueling a pipeline of sick children into an already overburdened healthcare system—when a better solution exists. Today GeneDx has the c...
