Our Story
Learn more about our path to enabling the cure of 100 rare diseases within the next 10 years.
Who We Are?
In a world where there are 350 million rare disease patients, we recognize that we have to do something. In a field that addresses over 7,000 rare diseases, we realize that we have to start somewhere. In an industry that has less than 5% of approved treatments, we are here to be the ones who make bold progress.
What We Do?
CENTOGENE is on a mission to enable the cure of 100 rare diseases in 10 years. At the core of everything we do? Data. Leveraging a multi-pronged method to diagnose, understand, and treat rare diseases, CENTOGENE is the leading data-driven rare disease company.

Enabling the cure of 100 rare diseases within the next 10 years
Understand.
Since our founding, CENTOGENE has generated data-driven insights from our diagnostic business. Through our in-house research, we have discovered unique links between genetic diseases and their downstream effects using myriad ‘omic’ technologies. Our experts have contributed to over 200 peer reviewed publications. With our technology and expertise, we can help elucidate disease pathways, identify drug targets, and screen candidate drugs.
We care. We collaborate. We innovate. We act with integrity. We deliver excellence.
Treat.
We leverage our rare disease-centric Bio/Databank to revolutionize orphan drug development, working alongside over 30 pharmaceutical partners. CENTOGENE is currently pursuing research on three priority diseases – Gaucher disease, Niemann-Pick type C, and genetic Parkinson’s. Our mission: to enable the cure of 100 rare diseases in 10 years.
