biopharma companies to access genetic insights that can help inform
drug pipelines and accelerate clinical trial enrollment.
“The partnership between GeneDx and Komodo Health represents a
milestone in advancing the understanding of rare disease and its
associated drug development”, said Melanie Duquette, Chief Growth

companies seeking to identify novel therapeutic targets and
optimize clinical trial design. As a MapEnhance specialty partner,
GeneDx’s rich repository of de-identified genetic data will be
accessible through Komodo’s end-to-end platform, to help companies
unlock deeper insights into genetically based disease and
accelerate new breakthroughs and treatments for patients.
"Combining the power of GeneDx’s genetic intelligence with
Komodo’s comprehensive and longitudinal view into patient journeys
is going to be a massive accelerant for companies looking to
advance precision medicine and help to pave the way for more
personalized treatments for patients,” said Brad Kelley, General
Manager of MapEnhance, Komodo Health. “We are thrilled to welcome
GeneDx to the MapEnhance family and help our customers more quickly
unravel the intricate genetic underpinnings of diseases."
