On DNA Day, we celebrate a milestone and reflect on what it revealed.

In 2003, the Human Genome Project changed medicine forever. Our CEO, Nabil Hafez, was part of that breakthrough. But it also made one thing clear: sequencing delivers data, while true actionability comes from understanding the full mutational context.

More than two decades later, cancer remains difficult to treat, not because we lack data, but because current approaches often reduce tumors to individual mutations. For patients, this means that treatments based on limited information may miss important details about their specific tumor, potentially affecting how well a therapy works.

At Genomate Health, we build on the foundation of genomic medicine by analyzing the full mutational profile of a tumor, helping turn complexity into clinically actionable decisions: https://shorturl.at/rA87l

Testicular cancer is one of the few cancers where early detection can dramatically change outcomes.

Yet too often, diagnosis still happens later than it should.

Awareness is not just about knowing the risk. It’s about understanding the disease early enough to act with clarity and confidence. At Genomate Health, we believe better cancer care starts with a deeper understanding of each patient’s disease, not as isolated signals, but as a complete biological system.

This month is a reminder that early detection matters.
But so does getting the full picture: https://shorturl.at/rymc2

Behind every abstract is a simple goal: helping patients receive better, more informed treatment.

At , we’re proud to contribute with: 𝐂𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐥 𝐮𝐭𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐚𝐧𝐚𝐥𝐲𝐬𝐢𝐬 𝐨𝐟 𝐚 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐩𝐮𝐭𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐨𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐬𝐲𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐦 𝐨𝐧 𝐥𝐚𝐫𝐠𝐞-𝐬𝐜𝐚𝐥𝐞 𝐭𝐮𝐦𝐨𝐫 𝐠𝐞𝐧𝐨𝐦𝐢𝐜 𝐝𝐚𝐭𝐚 https://www.asco.org/abstracts-presentations/263141

This work focuses on a critical question: how can we better understand each patient’s cancer (in its full complexity) to support more confident treatment decisions?

Because for us, it’s not about data. It’s about clarity, options, and time for what matters.

Full abstracts will be released on May 21. We look forward to sharing more.

This is a big one for us.

Out of 135+ startups from around the world, Genomate Health has been selected as one of just 7 finalists to pitch at the C3 International x King Faisal Specialist Hospital and Research Center Innovation Challenge. To be in this room, with this level of clinical partner, and this level of competition, says a lot about where we are.

And the timing makes it even more meaningful.

This week, we’re at , presenting our latest findings.
Next week, we’re taking the stage at Plug and Play Tech Center.
From research to real-world application, back to back.

This is how we’ve always believed cancer care progress should happen: not in isolation, but as a continuous line from discovery to impact. It’s a strong signal that what we’re building is resonating where it matters most: advancing how cancer is understood, and how decisions get made.

Next week, in Silicon Valley, our founder, Istvan Petak MD, PhD, is going to show why a complete, system-level understanding of cancer isn’t optional anymore, and what becomes possible when you finally have it in clinical practice.

If you’re around, come see it live on April 27:https://lnkd.in/d-fAKyp8 (Code: C3PLUGANDPLAY)

On our way to !

At AACR this year, we’re bringing computational reasoning into the spotlight, with new data spanning cell lines, real-world cohorts, and multidisciplinary clinical practice.

Here’s what we’re presenting:

🔬 From data to decision (GDSC): Molecularly informed prediction of treatment efficacy https://www.genomate.health/publication/genomate-treatment-efficacy-predictivity-in-gdsc-cell-line-data

🔬 From cohorts to clinic (GENIE NSCLC): Predicting treatment response in real-world patients https://www.genomate.health/publication/genomate-treatment-efficacy-predictivity-in-genie-bpc-nsclc-cohort

🔬 Late-breaking | Real-world impact: How computational reasoning supports tumour board decisions across cancershttps://www.abstractsonline.com/pp8/ #!/21436/presentation/11352

If you're at AACR and want to talk about making sense of cancer complexity (for real), meet our founder & CSO, Dr. Istvan Petak: https://nltxg.share.hsforms.com/2cQtUiHEWQHWldh4IAS_pFw

Let’s move beyond data, towards decisions, by connecting molecular insights, real-world evidence, and clinical reasoning into actionable treatment strategies.

April marks Head and Neck Cancer Awareness Month, a reminder of how complex and often overlooked these cancers are. Head and neck cancers are not a single disease, but a group of biologically diverse cancers affecting areas like the oral cavity, throat, and larynx. Their complexity is one of the reasons they remain difficult to diagnose and treat.

Incidence continues to rise globally, with rates increasing significantly over the past decades. But the real challenge goes deeper. Each patient’s disease can look similar clinically, yet behave very differently at the molecular level. That’s why moving beyond surface-level diagnosis matters.

At Genomate Health, we focus on understanding cancer as a system, bringing together the full molecular picture to support more informed, personalized treatment decisions. If you or a loved one is facing a diagnosis, getting a deeper, more complete perspective can make a difference.

Can we systematically rank cancer therapies based on tumor biology?

At , we’re presenting evidence that this is possible.
Using computational reasoning on large-scale GDSC cell line data, we evaluated how combinations of molecular alterations relate to drug response, and translated that into therapy rankings.

What matters is not just identifying mutations, but understanding how they interact to shape treatment efficacy. The result: a consistent link between Genomate scores and experimental sensitivity, showing that therapies can be stratified by their likelihood of working.

Can we predict which cancer treatments will actually work in real patients?

That’s the question behind our latest research, presented at .

We applied Genomate’s computational reasoning approach to NSCLC data from the AACR Project GENIE Biopharma Collaborative to test whether treatment efficacy can be anticipated from complex molecular profiles, and validated it against real-world clinical outcomes.

The takeaway? We can systematically distinguish between therapies that are more likely to benefit patients and those that are not. If you’re interested in what this means in practice, the key findings are in the carousel below.

Precision oncology holds enormous promise, but for many patients, the reality is still fragmented, complex, and difficult to navigate. Too often, treatment decisions are based on partial insights, leaving both patients and clinicians without the full picture of the disease.

This La Presse article touches on a critical shift: moving beyond isolated mutations toward a more complete, integrated understanding of cancer. At Genomate Health, we focus on exactly this challenge: helping make sense of the full molecular complexity of each patient’s cancer so that decisions are clearer, more confident, and truly personalized.

Merci de nous avoir cités et d'avoir mis en lumière ces enjeux cruciaux pour les patients, Mathieu Perreault !

Colorectal cancer is changing, and we need to pay attention.

Once considered a disease of older adults, it is now rising in younger populations, increasing by ~3% each year in people under 50. Today, nearly 1 in 5 cases is diagnosed before age 55.

The bigger problem? Many younger patients are diagnosed too late, because they don’t expect cancer, and neither does the system.

What to watch for:
• Persistent changes in bowel habits
• Blood in stool
• Unexplained weight loss or fatigue
• Ongoing abdominal discomfort
If something feels off, don’t ignore it. Push for answers.

At Genomate Health, we help patients and doctors get clearer answers about what’s driving each cancer, so they can make the right decisions, faster. Because when diagnosis comes late, every decision matters.

It’s time our understanding and our actions catch up with the reality of this disease.
