Our story

The time was right to make an impact.

SimplexDNA® was founded in July 2021 as a spin-off

from ETH Zürich. We are based in Winterthur, Switzerland,

in the heart of Europe.

 

Thanks to an innovative spirit and years of experience in molecular methods and conservation research, we are making a

difference for our clients, partners, and the planet.

In our own laboratory facilities, we carry out small

and large-scale projects to the

highest quality standards.

Track record:

Projects managed: 10

Samples handled: 190

Invest

Ecosystems are a natural asset,

but we lack data about their health.

Your investment can actively shape the future of

the world's biodiversity and contribute to the sustainable development of the planet through large-scale, digitally verifiable DNA-based monitoring. We are actively looking for funding.

Join us!

If you're up for a challenge and believe that your contribution can make an impact, get in touch with us. Experience in (molecular) biology, bioinformatics, software

development, computer science or

business administration is

particularly helpful.
