We believe every patient living with advanced cancer should benefit from comprehensive genomic information to inform their care. That’s why we’ve built a powerful portfolio of comprehensive genomic profiling (CGP) tests that—via both blood and tissue samples—evaluate more than 300 genes known to drive cancer.

Who We Are
Pioneering the Future of Cancer Care
We’re an essential partner to patients, physicians, researchers, and biopharma organizations navigating the complex landscape of cancer care. Our genomic insights help guide informed decisions about treatment plans and research priorities.
Over the past decade, we’ve partnered with researchers, biopharma, advocacy organizations, government bodies, health plans, and regulators to validate the use of genomic testing in clinical care, drive awareness among patients and physicians and ultimately support broader access for patients.
The answers we provide through our testing are essential first steps in developing informed treatment strategies and accelerating the development of transformative new therapies.

History

Our History
Following the completion of the Human Genome Project and the launch of the Cancer Genome Atlas, Foundation Medicine’s founders envisioned a world where all cancer patients could benefit from genomic insights at the point of care, and that with a deeper, molecular-level understanding of this disease, we could fundamentally transform the way cancer is treated.
From this idea—democratizing the power of molecular information to benefit patients around the world—Foundation Medicine was born.
