Company Profile
First Dimension BioSciences was founded in June 2015, and is located in the beautiful BioBay in Suzhou Industrial Park. First Dimension is a company working on quantifying life with big data genomics. Our mission is to utilize genomic information to improve public health. Starting with cancer genome profiling, we provide bioinformatics services in areas of cancer screening and early cancer detection, as well as clinical diagnosis and prognostic monitoring. We firmly believe that genomic information will be a powerful tool which can revolutionize our fight against cancer.
First Dimension is comprised of a world-class, experienced R&D team, equipped with multiple platforms of high-end sequencing instruments, proven experimental and medical pipelines and a state-of-the-art computational data center. We are aiming to become an industry leader in big data genomics in China, and to that end, we are committed to building an authoritative genetic information database of cancer genomes and to establish a statistical compendium of Chinese mutation profiles.
