Who We Are Galatea Bio is an innovative, venture backed biotechnology company with a mission of advancing precision health for all.

The last 20 years have seen an explosion of genetic information and data. New technological advances have made it faster and less expensive to understand the human genomes but most of those resources have gone to further understanding predominantly northern European communities. The mission of Galatea Bio is to leverage world class ancestry algorithms and direct them to better understand underserved Latin American populations all while maintaining a strong commitment to ethical research. The company has institutional backing from groups including F-Prime Capital, Digitalis Ventures, Alexandria Venture Investments, and Founders Collective. Read more at .
