About Us

Learn more about our mission, vision, leadership and more.

Did you know that every year, millions of forensic case samples go unprocessed due to poor sample collection and inefficient DNA analysis? This backlog denies justice to countless victims and their families.

With over 25 years of experience in forensic genetic analysis, we founded Biosecure ID to tackle these challenges.

Our mission is to enhance efficiency, ensure reliability and reproducibility, reduce overall costs, and develop simple to use integrated solutions for forensic analysis to make them accessible and affordable to labs worldwide.

With a workflow focus, we have partnered with innovative companies to accelerate the pace of genetic testing, improving efficiency, achieving high level of quality and offering reliable services to the end customer.

Our comprehensive services focus on the Global South, where support is most needed.

Biosecure ID supports Science for Social Good CIC , a UK-based non-profit community interest company  delivering vocational training programmes, raising awareness and education about broader use of DNA testing.

We believe our small contribution through collaboration and sharing knowledge will be a significant drop in the ocean, making a meaningful difference in the world of forensic science and applied genetics.

Hi, we're Biosecure ID.

We’re a high-performance, hand-selected team of industry professionals, subject matter experts, innovators and entrepreneurs. Together, we unlock the potential of molecular testing to create a better world. It’s nice to meet you.

Passionate about affordable,
impactful genetic analysis

Necessity is the Mother of Invention.

As a leader with over 25 years of experience across four continents, I’ve seen firsthand the challenges faced by emerging countries in accessing affordable and accessible genetic analysis tools—especially those critical to societal well-being and public safety. Too often, these needs are overshadowed by flashy sales pitches, while advancements in science and technology fail to reach the people who need them most.

We are particularly interested in the market segment some refer to as the Global South and others as the Bottom of the Pyramid. This segment represents a significant portion of the population that is often underserved in terms of access to advanced genetic analysis tools.

Driven by a passion for innovation and a commitment to making a positive difference, I wanted to build a platform for molecular testing across Applied Markets verticals. This platform has the potential to significantly improve molecular testing by generating timely, accurate, and actionable results in areas such as Human Identification, Animal Health, Food Safety, Water Quality, Waste Management, and Human disease research.

Biosecure ID was born with a deliberate intent to provide end-to-end solutions to the end user, maximizing the benefits at the lowest cost per sample anywhere in the world. We do so by combining our innovation & knowhow, with collaboration partners and enabling services.
