Today, we’re unpacking the healthcare company that is Eugene, and I’m joined by the two co-founders Zoe Milgrom and Kunal Karlo.
Founded in 2017, Eugene offers medical-grade genetic testing and counseling services to people anywhere at any time. With a few drops of saliva, Eugene can identify variations in genes that may lead to disease, allowing you to proactively take control of your own health.
Learn about how they first met, their experiences and motivations to start Eugene, what exactly is genome sequencing and why it’s critical to each of us, how the cost of sequencing a human genome has dropped from $2.7B to nearly a thousand dollars, Eugene’s business model and go to market strategy, their suite of products and how they’re building broader community education and awareness of genetic risks. I must admit I learnt a lot in this conversation.
It’s now time to explore your curiosity. Please enjoy!
