Accelerating breakthroughs
At Velsera, we help make breakthroughs happen faster so that lives are improved sooner.
Precision-driven solutions for real-world impact
Velsera is a Health Tech company providing advanced software enabled by expert services that accelerates the discovery, development and delivery of Precision Medicine globally. We are on a mission to make breakthroughs happen faster, so that lives are improved sooner.
We partner with Life Science and Clinical Diagnostic companies to provide cutting-edge technology and expert services that help them accelerate the discovery, development and at-scale delivery of new drugs and diagnostics that combat genetic diseases like Cancer.
We are an ‘established scale up’ – having a track record of over 10 years of innovation and industry firsts combined with an agility and hunger to remain at the forefront and push the boundaries of innovation in Precision Medicine
We fundamentally believe that the status quo relating to the speed and time it takes to make advances in human healthcare is broken. The pace of change in precision medicine is too slow and inefficient and we believe this is not down to a lack of data, information or expertise, but because that data, information and expertise is scattered or siloed.
We want to move an entire industry to take the advanced medical and scientific knowledge that humanity already possesses and accelerate its application in the real-world, driving a step-change in progress on health outcomes around the world
