Advancements in technology have lowered the cost of gene sequencing technologies. This has led to the rise of genetics startups in Korea that want to change the future of healthcare. Genomic data is now widely available, which will play a vital role in drug discovery, understanding complex diseases, and, more importantly, finding appropriate treatments. South Korea is currently not up to date with clinical genetic services and genomic medicine. As South Korea does not have a big pharmaceutical company, startups will need to take the lead in offering innovative contributions for future genomic medicine for the healthcare industry. Add this to Korea’s already strong healthcare information system, and the possibilities for developing genomic medicine are limitless. Below are some of the top genetics startups in Korea offering innovative products and solutions.

Therefore, as their business grows, the startup hopes to build a platform where people can easily access their genetic information and take early preventive measures.
