Tom Weaver, CEO of Cambridge-based Congenica, is delighted that its technology is reaching patients and says: “One of the aims of Genomics England is to enable NHS patients to gain early benefit from advances in genomics and through participation in the 100,000 Genomes Project we have been able to accelerate development of our Sapientia™ diagnostic platform. “Working closely in collaboration with NHS genetics centres we have ensured that the tool is optimised to reduce the workload of the labs and to support consultants diagnose rare genetic diseases. “Furthermore with the support of these genetics centres we are building a knowledge-base that will make it easier for clinicians to compare the results of their patients with anonymised phenotype data from others previously diagnosed with the same genetic mutations. This is a world-leading resource.” Genomics England also comments that work is also ongoing with its sequencing partner Illumina to explore a variety of bioinformatic challenges around sequencing. Illumina also originated from Cambridge, UK, which, alongside the work of the Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute, shows the depth of knowledge in this UK genomics cluster. Genomics England also announced that two new companies, Berg Health and NGM Biopharmaceuticals have joined its industry collaboration, known as the GENE Consortium, which is working on a yearlong industry trial assessing how best to accelerate the development of new diagnostics and treatments for patients. Commenting on both announcements, Sir John Chisholm, Executive Chairman of Genomics England, said: “We are delighted to welcome two new partners to the GENE Consortium. Exploring how industry will work with this unique dataset along with driving up the quality of the interpretation of genomic data is crucial to us in finding out how to understand and treat disease better in the future. It’s this that will ensure genomic medicine benefits patients for years to come.”   Download our case study to learn how Congenica has helped Genomics England to reduce manual data processing by 95%, improve analysis times 20-fold and increase diagnostic yield by 50%: [![learn more about our partnership with Genomics england](https://no-cache.hubspot.com/cta/default/6863388/736e7cf3-7580-423b-acb6-2d643da97847.png)](https://cta-redirect.hubspot.com/cta/redirect/6863388/736e7cf3-7580-423b-acb6-2d643da97847) --- ### Related articles ![SeqOne acquires Congenica to create a global leader in AI-powered genomic medicine](https://blog.congenica.com/hs-fs/hubfs/New%20logos/Congenica%20%26%20SeqOne%20Logo%20Without%20Tagline%20RGB.png?width=320&height=192&name=Congenica%20%26%20SeqOne%20Logo%20Without%20Tagline%20RGB.png) 9/2/2025 #### [SeqOne acquires Congenica to create a global leader in AI-powered genomic medicine](https://blog.congenica.com/seqone-acquires-congenica-to-create-a-global-leader-in-ai-powered-genomic-medicine) Strategic acquisition of UK genomics leader Congenica reinforces SeqOne market position and footprint - servicing over 160 labs in 30+ countries ![Congenica showcased in Genomics Spotlight 2024 Report](https://blog.congenica.com/hs-fs/hubfs/male%20doc%20with%20child%20and%20mum%20light%20small%20.jpg?width=320&height=192&name=male%20doc%20with%20child%20and%20mum%20light%20small%20.jpg) 11/6/2024 #### [Congenica showcased in Genomics Spotlight 2024 Report](https://blog.congenica.com/congenica-showcased-in-recently-launched-genomics-spotlight-2024-report) We are thrilled to announce that Congenica is one of the companies showcased in the recently launched Genomics Spotlight 2024 report produced by the UK Department for Business and Trade (DBT). ![Congenica Named Best Genomic Data Analysis Software Company 2024 by GHP](https://blog.congenica.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Onco%20.png?width=320&height=192&name=Onco%20.png) 6/19/2024 #### [Congenica Named Best Genomic Data Analysis Software Company 2024 by GHP](https://blog.congenica.com/congenica-named-best-genomic-data-analysis-software-company-2024-by-ghp) We are thrilled to announce that Congenica has been awarded the title of "Best Genomic Data Analysis Software Company 2024" by Global Health & Pharma Magazine.  ##### Congenica is available as a CE Marked IVD clinical decision support platform for clinical diagnostic use for inherited genetic disorders in the UK and EU, Iceland, Lichtenstein, Norway, Switzerland and Turkey.
