Science with a Human Purpose
Genomics holds the power to transform healthcare, but its impact depends on how that science is delivered. AGTC Genomics combines advanced testing technologies, a world-class laboratory team, and clinical-grade analysis to turn complex DNA data into clear, meaningful answers. Every test is designed to meet real medical needs, processed locally in a highly compliant lab, and backed by internationally recognized standards.
The goal is to support earlier detection, guide treatment decisions with confidence, and give individuals and families a better understanding of their health risks. Through accurate, timely, and accessible genomic testing, AGTC Genomics helps bring clarity to care, so more people can make informed decisions and take proactive steps toward better health.
A Message from our Founder
From the beginning of my research career, I’ve been driven by one central question: how can science truly improve people’s lives?
My journey through cancer biology and genomics, from Harvard to leading research institutions in Malaysia, gave me the opportunity to explore that question deeply. I witnessed how far genomic science has come in understanding the causes of disease. But I also saw how much more could be done to turn that knowledge into better care for patients.
AGTC Genomics was founded to close that gap. The goal is to bring reliable, clinically relevant genomic testing into everyday healthcare, where it can make a real difference. This means building local capabilities, following the highest standards, and focusing on what truly matters: delivering answers that support earlier detection, better treatment decisions, and improved outcomes.
The science behind genomics is powerful, but the impact only becomes real when it helps people. That is what drives us every day.
