Sequenom
Sequenom was a biotechnology company specializing in genetic testing, particularly non-invasive prenatal testing (NIPT). They developed technology that analyzes fetal DNA circulating in a pregnant woman's blood to detect genetic conditions like Down syndrome early in pregnancy. This approach offers a safer alternative to traditional invasive tests, reducing miscarriage risk. Sequenom's innovations helped advance prenatal care by providing more accurate, earlier, and safer genetic screening options for expectant parents.
