23andMe Holding Co. operates as a consumer genetics testing company. It operates through two segments, Consumer & Research Services and Therapeutics. The Consumer & Research Services segment provides a suite of genetic reports, including information on customers' genetic ancestral origins, personal genetic health risks, and chances of passing on certain rare carrier conditions to their children, as well as reports on how genetics can impact responses to medications based on genetic testing of a saliva sample through its spit kit. The Therapeutics segment focuses on the drug development; and discovery and development of novel therapies to improve patient lives across various therapeutic areas, including oncology, respiratory, and cardiovascular diseases, as well as offers out-licensing of intellectual property associated with identified drug targets related to drug candidates under clinical development. It has a collaboration agreement with GlaxoSmithKline Intellectual Property (No.3) Limited to leverage genetic insights to validate, develop, and commercialize drugs. The company was founded in 2006 and is headquartered in South San Francisco, California.

Lemonaid Health (part of 23andMe)

23andMe, headquartered in Sunnyvale, CA, is a leading consumer genetics and research company. Founded in 2006, the company’s mission is to help people access, understand, and benefit from the human genome. 23andMe has pioneered direct access to genetic information as the only company with multiple FDA authorizations for genetic health risk reports. The company has created the world’s largest crowdsourced platform for genetic research, with 80 percent of its customers electing to participate. The 23andMe research platform has generated more than 180 publications on the genetic underpinnings of a wide range of diseases, conditions, and traits. The platform also powers the 23andMe Therapeutics group, currently pursuing drug discovery programs rooted in human genetics across a spectrum of disease areas, including oncology, respiratory, and cardiovascular diseases, in addition to other therapeutic areas. 23andMe was named as one of the San Francisco Chronicle's Top Workplaces and one of Comparably's Best Places to Work in 2022. CEO, Anne Wojcicki was also named one of Glassdoor’s top CEOs in 2019 and one of Comparably’s "Best CEOs for Women" in 2021 and 2022. More information is available at www.23andMe.com.

This #BlackHistoryMonth, we’re sharing quotes from Black leaders in STEM who continue to inspire us every day. Mae Jemison became the first African-American woman to travel into space when she served as a mission specialist aboard the Space Shuttle Endeavour in 1992.

We’re looking for a Sr. Scientist II to join our Research Team! In this role, you will have the opportunity to provide scientific input and strategic direction for research initiatives involving the lung cancer cohort. https://lnkd.in/guC-u3bT

Earlier this year, researchers with the National Institutes of Health, in collaboration with 23andMe and about a dozen other groups, published the largest to-date genetic study of Parkinson’s disease. This is the first large-scale genetics study of Parkinson’s disease to include data from individuals from multiple ancestral populations.

We are excited to announce the U.S. FDA has cleared the investigational new drug application for 23ME-01473 (‘1473), a natural killer (NK) cell activator intended to treat cancer.

“This program further validates the 23andMe database as a proven resource for identifying novel therapeutic targets,” said Jennifer Low, Head of Therapeutics Development, 23andMe. “The team is excited to initiate our next immuno-oncology program, ‘1473, which is particularly interesting given its two mechanisms of action, which may synergise to enhance NK and T cell immunity against certain tumors.”

Has there ever been a time – maybe during a stressful moment, or even just out of the blue – when you started to feel dizzy, like your vision was narrowing, and like you were disconnected from your body? 

About 1 in 3 people will experience a panic attack in their lifetime. Panic attacks happen when fear and anxiety overwhelm a person and lead to physical symptoms such as a racing heart, stomach aches, or shortness of breath. 

Our 23andMe+ Premium Panic Attacks report (Powered by 23andMe Research) helps individuals better understand their genetic likelihood of developing panic attacks throughout their lifetime. https://23and.me/426saOl

We're excited to share that the FDA  included our BRCA1/BRCA2 (Selected Variants) Genetic Health Risk Report clearance and PCCP in their 2023 Annual Report for device innovation.

January is Thyroid Awareness Month. In 2022, we released a 23andMe+ Premium report on Hashimoto’s disease, powered by 23andMe research. 

Hashimoto’s disease is an autoimmune condition in which the immune system causes the thyroid gland to become inflamed and damaged, and over time produce less thyroid hormone. This condition can cause many different symptoms like fatigue or depression, and if left untreated, can be associated with other health conditions like heart problems. 

Members can learn about their genetic likelihood of developing it and actions they can take to promote thyroid and immune health. https://23and.me/3u87E3n

Our very own Dr. Noura Abul-Husn is speaking at the Precision Medicine World Conference this week in Silicon Valley on January 25th! If you’re planning to attend make sure you stop by for her showcase.

At 23andMe, we believe the ability to identify, recruit, and characterize research participants based on genetics unknown to them is a critical capability for our therapeutics and research teams to inform drug development and genetics research.
