Our Story

3X Genetics began with a family’s seven-year search for a definitive diagnosis of the muscular and GI issues affecting two of their children.

Kevin Donahue, an experienced engineer and serial entrepreneur, founded 3X Genetics in 2021 to develop purpose-built tests for Myotonic Dystrophy Type 1 (DM1). That early work laid the foundation for something broader. Five years later, 3X Genetics has developed a platform capable of diagnosing all types of REDs as well as various other genetic diseases.

Our Leadership Team

3X is led by experienced leaders with deep expertise across the medical, scientific, and business aspects of genetic diagnostics. They are supported by a team of specialists in computational biology, laboratory operations, commercial testing and intellectual property. At every level, our entire team is motivated by a shared goal: helping patients who have not yet benefited from advances in genetic medicine.
