UNIQUE EXPERTISE
Headquartered in Reykjavik, Iceland, deCODE is a global leader in analyzing and understanding the human genome. Using our unique expertise and population resources, deCODE has discovered key genetic risk factors for dozens of common diseases ranging from cardiovascular disease to cancer.
UNIQUE CAPABILITIES
We operate the most productive human gene discovery engine in the world, employing our discoveries to identify genetic variations associated with human disease.
OUR PUBLICATIONS
We regularly publish our discoveries in major, peer-reviewed journals, enabling others to further validate and expand upon our findings.
