About Veritas
Improving healthcare through genetics

Our story began in the 1970s with a young student passionate about one thing: DNA. George Church’s work set countless genetic discoveries into motion, including the Human Genome Project, the first initiative to map all genes in the human genome.

Dr. Church, along with a group of visionaries and scientists, including leaders from Harvard Medical School’s Personal Genome Project, co-founded Veritas with the idea of bringing the benefits of genomic data to millions of people globally.

Now, with the help of machine learning and AI, Veritas is pushing the boundaries of how people interact with their genomic data and integrate it into their daily lives.

Veritas Intercontinental was founded in 2018 to lead the expansion of the Veritas’ brand and genetic services in Europe, Latin America, the Middle East, and Japan.

In 2020, Veritas Intercontinental opened its laboratory in Europe. With this further expansion, the company now offers a complete portfolio including the myGenome service, exome based genetic testing and genetic services for maternal-fetal medicine.

In March 2022 Veritas announces that it will become part of LetsGetChecked, a global healthcare solutions company.

Our mission is to transform genetic data into useful information to improve the quality and duration of an individual’s life, we are experts in the utilization of clinical genomics.

Veritas is The Genome Company, experts in DNA analysis and interpretation, we are committed to continuous innovation through research and education. Our services to doctors and patients will continually evolve as the global genetic knowledge in the scientific community expands.

Passion

We are passionate about what we do, we work every day to find solutions that bring genetics closer to people and help them improve their lives and those of their families, their well-being is our commitment.

Accuracy

We are scientifically rigorous following the guidelines of the most prestigious medical guides and societies. We have an expert medical and scientific team, with extensive experience in the world of genetics.

Patient focused

Our patients are the engine that drives our constant improvement. Excellence, both in treatment and in service, is the pillar on which we build our relationships with partners and patients.

Our Next Generation Laboratory

We perform all genetic tests in our laboratories in Europe following the strictest safety protocols.

Our scientists are recognized worldwide as pioneers in genetic studies. We have a new laboratory in Spain, inaugurated in the second half of 2020, which utilizes the most advanced technology from Illumina, a world leader in sequencing.

Our technical team is led by Dr. Vincenzo Cirigliano, internationally recognized for being a pioneer in the development and introduction in clinical routine of innovative molecular tests in prenatal diagnosis, including the rapid diagnosis of aneuploidies by QF-PCR, the introduction of microarrays and non-invasive prenatal diagnosis (NIPT).
