At Illumina, we’re on a mission to improve human health by unlocking the power of the genome.
Genomics will change everything—from how we diagnose and treat cancer to how we feed the world’s population—and we know igniting genomic curiosity in students is a critical first step to achieving our mission.
We are committed to equitable access to STEM education for all, with the goal of empowering students to envision themselves as future scientists, innovators, and trailblazers. We believe we can make a different in their lives today, so they can make a different in the lives of others tomorrow.
