Who we are

Let your genetics be useful for something, not just curiosity

ADNTRO was founded in 2020 around an uncomfortable idea: almost no one understands the genetic report they paid for. We're a small team in bioinformatics, genetics, and product working to change that — translating what your DNA says into something you can actually use day to day, without alarmism and without promising more than genetics can deliver.

Genetics moves at a pace that only computing can match: hundreds of new studies with new variants are published every year. But that progress almost always stays inside scientific journals, written in English for specialists. Our job is the bridge: reading those studies, deciding which ones are solid enough, and turning them into something you can understand without being a geneticist.

And doing it in a way you can actually verify: publishing our own research in peer-reviewed journals, keeping your results up to date as the science changes, and never asking for your name to analyze your DNA. Those are three measurable things, and we'd rather you judged us by them.

How we work

Six commitments you can verify yourself

These aren't values on a wall. Each one can be checked without taking our word for it: by looking at a publication, reading our privacy policy, or opening a report.

We publish, not just cite

Anyone can cite someone else's study. We publish our own research on the polygenic risk score in peer-reviewed journals, with hospitals and reference centers as co-authors. It's all linked with its DOI.
We say what genetics can't do

No result tells you that you're going to get sick, because your DNA doesn't know that. Every report gives you the data, its interpretation, the level of evidence behind it, and what's left out. No standalone percentages, no red traffic lights.
Every result shows where it comes from

Every report links to the study it's based on and shows you the specific markers found in your sample. If you can't go check it, we don't ask you to just believe it.
We don't need to know who you are

We don't ask for any personal data to analyze your DNA — we don't even know whose sample is whose. We don't sell or share your data, and you can download or delete it whenever you want.
Your results don't stay frozen on the day you ordered them

You give your sample once. When a new study changes what's known about a variant, we update your report without you having to do anything, and without paying for the analysis again.
There's a named person on the other end

We're a small team, and you can tell when you write to us: you're answered by someone in-house, someone you can find right on this page — not an outsourced call center.

The team

The people who build ADNTRO

There's no anonymous "scientific department" behind your results. We're a small team: the person who builds the models, the person who writes the code, and the person who answers you when you write to support. This is us.

Guillermo Monzón

Founder and CEO

Started ADNTRO in 2020 on the idea that a genetic report you can't understand is worth nothing. Makes sure the company keeps existing so we can keep updating your results.
Jorge Blom-Dahl

Co-founder and CTO

Responsible for the platform and the infrastructure where your DNA is analyzed: from the file that comes out of the lab to the report you read in the app.
Sandra Ferreiro López

Bioinformatician · Head of science

Builds the models we use to calculate the polygenic risk score and decides which studies are solid enough to make it into a report.

Full-stack development

Builds the platform you use: the results website, the app, and everything between your sample and the screen.
Estefanía Montes

Product design and front-end

Makes sure a genetic result can be read without being a geneticist: how a piece of data is presented, what gets explained first, and what should never show up in red.
Micaela Almeida

Director of B2C and Marketing

Runs what we tell the world: the blog, social media, and emails. Her job is to explain genetics without overselling what it can do.
Marta Azpilicueta

Operations and support

Tracks your kit from the moment it ships until the lab returns the result. If you write to support, she's likely the one who answers.
