What to expect from Golden Helix in 2021 header image

Happy New Year! I hope you had an opportunity to relax over the holidays with your family and friends. It’s time to start talking about our plans for the New Year, but first, please allow me to review a few highlights from 2020 that helped build a foundation for our future.

Growth: Golden Helix was named to the 2020 Inc 5000 List of Fastest-Growing Private Companies for the second consecutive year.

Awards: We received numerous awards and recognition across the industry.

Publications: We were also featured in a number of reputable journals and magazines.

Innovation: We launched our VSClinical AMP Module cancer diagnostics and VSClinical ACMG CNV workflow in 2020.


Going forward, we will continue to expand our global customer base. We are a highly referenced organization; our solution is trusted and proven. At the same time, we deliver significant value. Our fixed fee structure allows our customer to budget in advance while getting the maximum use of our solution. Our clinical variant interpretation capabilities cover the full spectrum of workflows for cancer and hereditary diseases. Our customers can conduct a wide range of clinical variant interpretation scenarios with one solution and don’t have to use multiple vendors on incompatible platforms. Our solution works for gene panel, clinical exomes, and whole genomes. We serve a diverse customer base spanning from small labs, large regional multi-site labs to country-wide implementations on a global basis.

In this new year, we will continue to push our offering with a focus on quality, scalability, and ease of use. In conjunction with our excellence in customer support, our main objective is to improve the efficiency of our customers, reduce overall healthcare costs, and most importantly help to improve patient outcomes.

On behalf of the entire Golden Helix Team, I’d like to thank all of our customers, partners, and collaborators for their loyalty. We look forward to another great year with you in 2021.
