Company History
Signature Genomics’ global headquarters is located in Spokane, Washington where it operates a state-of-the-art array-based comparative genomic hybridization (array CGH) diagnostic laboratory.
Signature Genomic Laboratories, LLC was established as a partnership between Signature Genomic Services, Pathology Associates Medical Laboratories and Sacred Heart Medical Center. Co-founded by Lisa G. Shaffer, Ph.D. and Bassem A. Bejjani, M.D. in 2003, Signature Genomic Laboratories was the first laboratory to provide microarray-based diagnostic testing of individuals with mental retardation and birth defects with its proprietary SignatureChip®.
Opening its doors with three employees, Signature Genomics began offering testing in March of 2004, and by August of that year was making a profit. In 2007, Ampersand Ventures, a private equity firm focusing on investments in the health care and industrial technology sectors, and in 2008 jVen Capital, a life sciences investment company with a focus in the areas of biotechnology, diagnostics, and medical devices, acquired stakes in Signature Genomics. Signature Genomics now has over 115 employees and has processed over 45,000 cases since its inception.
