Vision
A world where no pathogen threat outpaces our ability to detect, understand, and respond to it.
Who We Are
Pathogen genomics, made operational.
Theiagen is a pathogen genomics company staffed by Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) and public health experts, committed to improving infectious disease control, food safety, molecular diagnostics, and environmental monitoring.
Our academic, governmental, and industry expertise contributes knowledge from a diverse range of projects including infectious disease surveillance, cancer research, biofuel developments, and microbial strain engineering. Hence, we bring unparalleled expertise to your table, allowing you to benefit from decades in the field.
Who We Are
We built Theiagen Genomics on a single conviction: that pathogen genomics should be the next standard in deciphering infectious disease — turning complex genomic data into the clarity that drives real decisions and action.
Many organizations already have sequencing infrastructure in place, often built around clinical applications like oncology or neurology.
Extending that capability to infectious disease and pathogens requires a different kind of expertise — the bioinformatics, the program architecture, the scientific depth — that makes genomic data something they can act on with confidence. We build that.

Mission
By 2035, to make pathogen genomics operationally deployable for the organizations on the front lines of infectious disease surveillance and response.
Open Source
What We Believe
Our commitment to open source is rooted in a simple belief: when work is funded by public dollars, it should be available to the public. But that principle extends beyond grant funding — we believe advancements in pathogen detection serve everyone when knowledge and tools are shared openly.
Our work is built to benefit the entire community — not just our individual partners. When we develop solutions for one organization, we make them available to all, multiplying the impact of every innovation and helping the field move forward together.
We are committed to open-source development whenever possible because better tools in more hands means a safer world across public health, clinical care, food safety, and beyond.
We welcome feedback and collaboration from the community on everything we build, because the best solutions come from working together. You can explore all the open-source tools we use in our workflows on our GitHub repository.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is Theiagen Genomics?
Theiagen Genomics is a bioinformatics consulting firm specializing in pathogen genomics and infectious disease surveillance technology for public health laboratories, hospitals, commercial and reference laboratories, government agencies, and other organizations.
We help organizations operationalize genomic science by combining bioinformatics, scientific expertise, technology systems, and strategic guidance to turn complex genomic data into actionable decisions.
Why was Theiagen Genomics founded?
Theiagen was founded on the belief that organizations responsible for protecting human health should not have to wait for pathogen genomics to mature on its own. Genomics needed to be built, deployed, and made operational to improve infectious disease surveillance and response.
What does Theiagen believe about the future of pathogen genomics?
Theiagen believes pathogen genomics should become the next standard for understanding and responding to infectious disease threats by transforming complex genomic information into clear, actionable insights.
What is Theiagen’s mission?
By 2035, to make pathogen genomics operationally deployable for the organizations on the front lines of infectious disease surveillance and response.
What is Theiagen’s vision?
A world where no pathogen threat outpaces our ability to detect, understand, and respond to it.
What expertise does Theiagen bring to pathogen genomics?
Theiagen combines expertise in microbiology, bioinformatics, epidemiology, software systems, laboratory operations, and public health implementation to help organizations build sustainable genomic capabilities.
What makes Theiagen different from traditional bioinformatics companies?
Theiagen combines scientific depth with operational implementation. Rather than providing analysis alone, Theiagen helps organizations build, train, support, and operationalize pathogen genomics programs that work in real-world environments.
Why do organizations choose to work with Theiagen?
Organizations choose Theiagen because of its scientific expertise, experience implementing pathogen genomics at scale, collaborative approach, and ability to integrate genomics into existing environments rather than requiring organizations to start over.
How does Theiagen approach partnerships with clients?
Theiagen listens first and designs solutions around each organization’s unique needs, capabilities, and objectives. The company believes in collaborative partnerships that strengthen long-term capability through knowledge transfer, training, and ongoing support.
What industries and sectors does Theiagen serve?
Theiagen supports public health laboratories, government agencies, commercial laboratories, hospitals and health systems, food and water safety organizations, and research institutions seeking to operationalize pathogen genomics.
