At Fabric Genomics, our vision is to make it possible for all patients to have genomics-driven precision medicine. We enable clinicians to truly deliver on precision medicine by quickly and accurately interpreting genomic data and using those insights to diagnose and treat patients. Fabric is transforming precision medicine by combining the vast quantities of genomic data with often complex phenotypic data to predict risk, diagnose disease, and plan treatment for even the most challenging cases.
With results that are far superior to other AI solutions, Fabric AI is an order of magnitude more effective and faster than competing pipelines.
Deriving clinical utility from genomic information is the quintessential big-data problem – vast quantities of data are returned for each patient, and with the exponential growth in NGS, a technology solution is essential. Fabric Genomics has pioneered AI-driven, scalable genomic interpretation with a suite of groundbreaking algorithms. This approach unlocks diagnostic yields better than previously imagined, and this accuracy enables a whole new level of speed and throughput to be achieved. Fabric uniquely provides a comprehensive AI-based solution that spans the range of NGS applications from targeted panels to exomes and whole-genome sequencing. Fabric was the first to offer a commercial algorithm for diagnostic genomic interpretation and has partnered with leading NGS labs and major hospital systems to bring these groundbreaking advances to patients at over 50 sites running tens of thousands of tests per year.

Martin Reese, CEO, Francisco de la Vega, CSO, and SVP of Research, Charlene Son Rigby, Chief Business Officer, and its board of directors, Paul Billings and John Stuelpnagel and Developer Mark Yandell, are key innovators in the genomics and diagnostic industry. Between them, they have founded such companies as Illumina, Neomorphic (acquired by Affymetrix), and 10x Genomics, led large teams at DoubleTwist, Applied Biosystems and Oracle and played critical roles in landmark projects in genomics such as BDGP, GASP, 1000 Genomes,1700 Human array, and the SNPlex™Genotyping system.
Co-Founder, President, and CEO
Dr. Reese is an internationally recognized expert and entrepreneur in Genomics and Bioinformatics. Prior to founding Fabric Genomics, Martin served as Vice President of Discovery Informatics for ValiGen, and co-founded Neomorphic, where he served as President and Chief Scientific Officer. The human genome annotation software that Martin developed at Neomorphic, provided the foundation for the successful commercialization of microarrays by Affymetrix. During his career he has been actively involved in community-wide assessments of genome annotation. He organized the state-of-the-art Genome Annotation Assessment Project and was a member of the Berkeley Drosophila Genome Project, which provided the essential proof-of-concept platform for “shotgun” sequencing technology. At the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratories Martin developed gene-finding algorithms for the Human Genome Project. He holds a Masters degree in Medical Informatics from the University of Heidelberg and a Ph.D. in Genetics jointly from the University of Hohenheim, Germany and the University of California, Berkeley.

Co-Founder, Chairman of the Board of Directors
Dr. Stuelpnagel currently serves as the Executive Chairman of Ariosa Diagnostic since 2009 and a board member at Sequenta, two leading genomic-based Diagnostic companies in the San Francisco bay area. Prior to this, John co-founded Illumina Inc., a leading developer, manufacturer, and marketer of life science tools and integrated systems for the analysis of genetic variation and biological function.
John was involved in making Illumina one of the most successful life science companies, serving as its first President and Chief Executive Officer from 1998 to 1999, Vice President of Business Development from 1999 to 2002, Senior Vice President of Operations from 2002 to 2005 and Chief Operating Officer from January 2005 to April 2008.
Prior, he was a venture capitalist at CW Group from 1997 to 1998 and with Catalyst Partners, a venture capital firm, from 1996 to 1997. While at CW Group, John uncovered what would become Illumina’s BeadArray technology at Tufts University and negotiated an exclusive license to that technology which led to the founding of Illumina Inc. He also served as a member of the Board of Directors of Illumina Inc. from April 1998 until April 2008. John received his B.S. in Biochemistry and his Doctorate in Veterinary Medicine from the University of California, Davis and his M.B.A. from the University of California, Los Angeles.
