Data-driven
disease prevention
Allelica’s software empowers health systems to reduce the burden of chronic disease through revolutionary preventive healthcare tools powered by the integration of patients’ clinical and genomic data.
Precision genomic
risk prediction
Allelica’s end-to-end Polygenic Risk Score pipeline provides clinical laboratories with a secure infrastructure for PRS analysis through to clinical reporting and can determine a patients’ absolute risk of common diseases through a simple file upload of their genotyped data.
Enabling cutting-edge research
Allelica’s PRS modules for new score discovery and validation perform the work of a team of bioinformaticians, enabling researchers to generate the best performing PRS using multiple gold standard algorithms in parallel and achieve publication ready results without months of bioinformatics efforts.
“With this agreement, Merck confirms its strong commitment in advancing Science and Technology in the therapeutic area of cardiovascular disorders.”

Latest news
Research on the cost-effectiveness of PRS published in medRxiv
Together with researchers at University of Sydney and Illumina, Inc., Allelica researchers and health economist, Deo Mujwara, completed a study on the cost-saving power of PRS for health systems. The study focuses on application of PRS in heart disease risk assessments, specifically looking at the advantages of using PRS as a risk enhancing factor in the Pooled Cohort Equation.
Press conference with top cardiovascular groups and Merck
Alongside the three leading cardiovascular scientific societies in Italy, Allelica hosted a press conference focused on the commercialization of CardioriskSCORE, the CAD PRS developed by Allelica and published in Circulation. Participants discussed the impact this has on heart attack risk and its implications for more effective primary prevention strategies. The conference was attended by top cardiologists and pharmaceutical companies in Europe.
Pharmafile features interview with Allelica CEO
In the Spring 2021 edition, Pharmafile magazine interviewed Allelica CEO, Giordano Bottà, on the critical role Polygenic Risk Score plays in assessing patients’ risk of heart disease. The interview covers the process of PRS integration in existing cardiovascular disease risk assessment, and discusses how Allelica is helping to power rapid adoption of PRS for complex disease in the clinic.
Allelica CSO speaks at Oxford Personalised Medicine webinar
Allelica CSO, George Busby, presented on the increasingly important role of polygenic risk scores in precision medicine in the UK and beyond, highlighting the challenges and opportunities for PRS implementation at scale. The webinar was hosted by the Oxford Personalised Medicine Society, part of the Wellcome Trust Centre for Human Genetics & University of Oxford.
ALLELICA CEO FEATURED IN CLINICAL OMICS MAGAZINE
Allelica CEO and co-founder, Giordano Bottà, was interviewed as part of an editorial piece, Polygenic Risk Scores: Taking Hold in the Clinic, in the most recent version of Clinical Omics. He discusses the growing importance of PRS in healthcare and the opportunities it presents for chronic disease prevention.
Allelica CAD PRS Research in Circulation
Allelica researchers identified a critical interaction between PRS for coronary artery disease (CAD) and LDL cholesterol level.Their discovery has major implications for clinical decision-making in primary prevention strategies. The research is now available in the American Heart Association Journal, Circulation.
Genomics Virtual Summit 2020
This event will showcase emerging and innovative applications advancing consumer & healthcare genomics to accelerate the adoption of precision medicine in healthcare systems. We will be discussing the life-saving potential of PRS for heart disease and its power to advance personalized lipid management.
The COVID-19 Host Genetics Initiative
Formed earlier this year, the COVID-19 Host Genetics Initiative is an open collaboration between scientists around the globe. It is focused on identifying genetic determinants of disease susceptibility and severity in order to understand why symptoms manifest in such drastically different ways. As participants in the initiative, we are developing scores to predict disease severity. We also built web and mobile digital tools to collect data from hospitalized patients.
Coronary Artery Disease Risk Calculator
Our newest product for healthcare providers calculates patients’ lifetime risk of developing coronary artery disease based on the integration of genetic and traditional risk factors using state of the art polygenic risk score. The interactive tool shows patients how manageable lifestyle changes and therapeutic interventions can actively lower lifetime risk of heart disease.
Genomic Medicine Virtual Conference
The Rady Children's Institute for Genomic Medicine Virtual Conference 2020, Integrating Genomic Medicine Across Systems, will dive deep into the latest innovations in genomic medicine. We will show our work alongside leaders in research and healthcare on how early polygenic risk score testing can reduce the lifetime risk of coronary artery disease.
ASHG Virtual Meeting
We are proud to have been selected as a “Reviewer's Choice” by the American Society of Human Genetics, being rated among the top 10% of abstracts. Our work will be presented at the ASHG Virtual Meeting 2020 where researchers will come together to present their latest discoveries and explore new tools & technologies to transform genomic medicine.
16th World Congress of Public Health
