Character is a precision medicine platform that is unlocking the patterns of age-related diseases in people of diverse backgrounds. Our mission is to use human genetics to understand what drives diseases so we can discover targeted therapies to more effectively treat patients - many of whom lack any treatment options today.
For the last century, most diseases have been treated as monolithic and homogenous with very little granularity.
The truth, as we see in our work every day, is that diseases are as diverse as the patients they impact. That’s why we are building world-class clinical genomic databases to characterize the diversity of biological pathways driving disease progression and to develop pathway-specific precision medicine.

Character partners with patients, providers, payers, and scientists to create large deeply phenotyped patient cohorts to enable clinical genomic research. Our approach integrates genomics, longitudinal clinical and imaging data, machine learning, and novel experimental approaches to discover innovative disease-modifying treatments.
Our clinical genomic and deep phenotyping platform powers novel drug and diagnostic discoveries.
