Lodestar Bio

Lodestar will address challenges faced by families of children with rare diseases who are seeking a diagnosis. Our solution is a two-sided marketplace for rare disease genomic insights. On one side, we offer children who have a rare disease—and an inconclusive whole genome assay—another chance at a diagnosis. A majority of families who order a whole genome test do not receive their much-needed diagnosis and are rarely provided with clear follow-up options. On the other side of the market, we use the genomic data we collect to identify orphan drug leads and partner with biopharma to create personalized medicines. A timely and accurate diagnosis transforms the lives of children with rare diseases. Lodestar’s mission is to create a world in which every child can expect a diagnosis.
