Getting to know Anél:

Q: What excites you most about working at Viome?

A: “Knowing that I work for open minded forward thinking people whose main goal is not to make money but to create a health and wellness maintenance system that is cost efficient, doable, scientifically based that the world could benefit by, is truly what motivates and excites me daily.
The other fantastic experience here at Viome is that my job is not a 8-4 or a 9-5 job that I go to and then leave to go home. This is a constant lifestyle and mindset commitment without time restrictions. I live what I work ... It is my daily commitment, whether at home or in my lab and in my office.”

Q: How do you describe the work that you do?

A: “My specific job is very data quality driven, and to create systems and platforms where client samples can be analyzed using very unique biochemical-scientific methods, and then examine all the analytical information derived from those patient samples. The final goal is to improve on methods so that the most accurate and most informative data can be created in the shortest and most cost effective way to the customer.”

Happy International Women’s Day to all of the strong women out there. We support you.

“Before founding Viome, I worked for 12 years as a scientist at Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL), where I was the leader of the Applied Genomics team. My team's research focused on developing and applying modern genomics to the areas of gut microbiomes, host-pathogen interactions, microbial interspecies interactions, pathogen detection, cancer biology, toxicology, infectious diseases, antibiotic resistance, forensics, etc. I also helped set up several turn-key genome centers in Africa and Asia, and provided complete staff training in laboratory methods and bioinformatic analyses.”
