Our heritage
How our humble beginnings in genetics and science led to a global mission to improve health worldwide.
A heritage based in science
When Associate Professor Les Sheffield founded myDNA in 2007, he was already well established in the world of genetics. He became Australia’s first qualified clinical geneticist in 1976 and his passion has only grown since then.
Les’ vision was simple: to eradicate the guesswork from prescribing medications. Since then, myDNA continued to expand into other areas of health and wellness, empowering the world to live healthier and happier lives.
Our heritage is in DNA, and it’s at the core of what we do every day.

Bringing technology to healthcare
$15M Tech Investment
We’ve invested over 15 million dollars into technology which allows us to operate our unique DNA interpretation engine. With advanced technology, we can advance healthcare.
Dedicated Laboratory
We’ve also put over 2 million dollars towards the our very own NATA accredited DNA analysis laboratory. Thanks to our rigorous standards, we’re proud to boast 99.9% accuracy in results.
Advanced Algorithms
Our clever algorithms take into account both your DNA and lifestyle factors, giving you the most personalised plans ever. No other DNA test or lifestyle plan gives you this level of personalisation.
Born in Australia, now helping people worldwide
Born in Australia, now helping people worldwide
Our home and advanced laboratory are in Melbourne, Australia. Since our birth in 2007, we’ve taken our wellness mission to more than 11 countries across 4 continents.
Today, we’re helping people unlock the secrets of their DNA in the USA, UK, Canada, New Zealand, and parts of Asia.
With our science backed by global accreditation, it’s no wonder people are loving personalised plans across the world.
