Phenome Ventures

Phenome Ventures, LLC is a Seattle-based consultancy available to academic and corporate clients worldwide. The firm helps advance scientific discovery by applying phenomics: the study of how organisms’ traits reflect their genomes and their experiences and exposures. This approach can support research into early signs of disease, differences in disease susceptibility and drug response, veterinary medicine, crop improvement, environmental effects, and evolution.

Phenome Ventures partners with research teams on project design, proposal preparation, assay vendor selection and contracting, and data handling and interpretation. It often begins by collaborating on grant proposals without charge, with project participation and analysis costs included in the proposed budget. The firm also offers fee-for-service consulting for clients using or investing in relevant technologies and can prepare customized business intelligence reports.

The company is led by Jeffrey L. Boore, Ph.D., an experienced genomics and translational medicine leader whose work spans genome sequencing, comparative genomics, and high-throughput research technologies.
