At Igenomix we work to make a world in which infertility is no longer an impossible barrier. Amidst the ongoing COVID-19 outbreak, our way of life has changed as we know it. Today, we believe our duty is to break one more barrier, the barrier that prevents us from returning to our lives. We hope that by applying our know-how in genetics to COVID-19 testing, we can help enable access to a COVID-19 free society.
