Identifai was founded in 2021, based on the ground-breaking academic research of Prof. Noam Shomron and Dr. Tom Rabinowitz, both from the Tel Aviv University, and has raised over $6M funds and R&D grants.
The company, part of ShizimVS innovation center, was founded by Shizim group, Prof. Noam Shomron (CSO), Dr. Tom Rabinowitz (CTO) and Oren Tadmor. Mr. Yossi Bornstein, President & CEO of Shizim Group, is the company’s chairman. Identifai is headed by Dr. Amir Beker, co-founder and CEO.
Identifai is revolutionizing pregnancy safety and prenatal testing by offering the first solution for non-invasive whole-genome sequencing of the fetus, using a blood test from the mother, as early as week 10 of the pregnancy.
Identifai’s platform and diagnostic tools enable early detection of fetal genetic disorders, including point mutations, in a simple, affordable and risk-free manner.
While existing solutions are invasive and risky, or limited to a small fraction of potential genetic diseases, Identifai’s unique platform enables non-invasive and risk-free screening for those diseases, using a quick and easy procedure.
The company’s AI-powered technology utilizes proprietary, patented algorithms in the fields of fragmentomix and cell-free DNA analysis. The technology was validated in clinical studies and demonstrated very high accuracy for a vast range of mutations.
The newly approved R&D plan will enable to broaden the clinical evidence and expand the capabilities of the technology to screening of chromosomal and sub-chromosomal anomalies, thus offering the full spectrum of genetic diseases covered by Identifai’s screening platform.
However, the critical questions stays tall: Will for example babies survive which carries Down-Syndrom or similar genetical disorders? If you do not believe in G’d and his order, maybe the questions should puzzle you why since more than 40.000 years Down-Syndrom prevails as the number #1 genetical disorder of human mankind? Maybe evolution “sees” an sense and necessity for Down-Syndrom or autism and many other genetical disorders?
