Principles
Why We Exist
Advancing genomic understanding matters most when it helps improve care for patients and families.
Shared Knowledge
Genomic discovery is strengthened with openness, collective learning, and ongoing contribution to the broader community.
Scientific Rigor
Accuracy, consistency, and disciplined scientific methods are foundational to how we deliver genomic insights.

History
Ambry has a long history of industry firsts – from clinical exome testing, to large studies innovating testing methodology, to purpose-built laboratory infrastructure, to creating a database that shares genomic insights in service of understanding human disease.
But what defines us most is not a list of firsts. It is a longstanding commitment to advancing genomics in ways that support patients and families who rely on this important information.

Super Lab
In 2016, Ambry built a customized a 60,000 square foot state-of-the-art facility, designed to increase efficiency, precision, and quality while reducing the potential for human error. This highly-automated CLIA/ CAP certified lab produces some of the fastest turn-around-times in the industry, without compromising accuracy and specificity.
- 24/7 lab operation protected by one of the largest industrial generators
- DNA fingerprinting of each specimen before and after testing for scalable sample tracking
- “Zero-vibration flooring” built to withstand seismic tremors, further reducing the potential for error
- Highly automated workflows to maximize consistency and reproducibility
FOUNDER
Charles L.M. Dunlop
In 1999, Charles “Charlie” Dunlop founded Ambry Genetics to build a company deeply committed to restoring the balance between open science and commercial interests — one driven by scientific rigor, relentlessly pursuing genomic answers, delivered with the best quality customer service.
Charlie realized this vision by launching some of the industry’s most useful diagnostic tests. He remains deeply connected to the minds and hearts of patients, understanding that access to information is just as important as quality science in finding the best treatment.
