About Veritas About Veritas Improving healthcare through genetics Our story began in the 1970s with a young student passionate about one thing: DNA. George Church’s work set countless genetic discoveries into motion, including the Human Genome Project, the first initiative to map all genes in the human genome. Dr. Church, along with a group of visionaries and scientists, including leaders from Harvard Medical School’s Personal Genome Project, co-founded Veritas with the idea of bringing the benefits of genomic data to millions of people globally. Now, with the help of machine learning and AI, Veritas is pushing the boundaries of how people interact with their genomic data and integrate it into their daily lives.Veritas Intercontinental was founded in 2018 to lead the expansion of the Veritas’ brand and genetic services in Europe, Latin America, the Middle East, and Japan.
