DNA is in our blood
Natera™ is a global leader in cell-free DNA (cfDNA) testing with a focus on women’s health, oncology, and organ health. Our mission is to change the management of disease worldwide by using information gained from a simple blood draw to proactively inform treatment.
Next-generation cell-free DNA testing
Through our next-generation, cfDNA technology platform, we’ve pioneered noninvasive blood-based testing in the fields of women’s health, oncology, and organ health.
Focused on experience and support
At Natera, we’re building an entirely new way to manage genetic testing: in the cloud. We’ve made it possible to virtually order tests, schedule mobile blood draws, access test results, and consult with genetic counselors — all with the click of a button. Our global footprint spans 90 countries worldwide, putting cfDNA testing within reach.
Our mission is personal
Applying clinical expertise, leading-edge cell-free DNA technology, and operational excellence to change the management of disease worldwide
Natera was born from a deeply personal desire to change the way disease was managed.
“In 2004, my sister gave birth to a son with Down Syndrome. He passed away six days after birth. It was a devastating experience for our entire family. I founded Natera because I believe all families deserve access to technologies that offer early detection of genetic disease.”
Since its founding, Natera has pushed the boundaries of testing management with a proven track record of scientific excellence and innovation.
