Science, Resilience and Human Potential

Genetics Made Human

Celebrating the Milano Cortina Olympics and Paralympics

Every Winter Olympics season, we celebrate speed, power, endurance, and grit. The thousandths of a second that separate podium from pack.

But behind every start line is biology.

Some athletes arrive on the world stage carrying not just skis or skates, but genetic health stories they’ve navigated their entire lives.

Take Eléonor Sana, a Paralympic alpine skier who developed bilateral retinoblastoma, a hereditary eye cancer, as an infant. She went on to become a medal-winning athlete competing at the highest level.

Or the legacy of Sergei Grinkov, the Olympic figure skating champion whose passing later brought awareness to inherited cardiovascular risk factors that can affect even elite athletes.

These stories are not about limitation.

They are about resilience, early diagnosis, advocacy, and the power of understanding your health.

Genetics does not define potential. It informs it.

At Tandem Genetics, we believe that access to thoughtful, timely genetic insight, empowers people, whether they’re training for the Olympics or navigating everyday healthcare decisions. Because behind every extraordinary performance is a human body. And behind every body is biology worth understanding.

This Olympic season, we’re celebrating athletes not just for what they achieve on the ice and snow, but for the strength it takes to compete, advocate, and thrive in their own health journeys.

Here’s to science, resilience and unlocking human potential, in every arena.

Introducing Tandem Genetics

Tandem Genetics is a team built around one belief: genetics should feel human, accessible, and seamlessly integrated into real clinical care.

Genetic testing has evolved quickly. Workflows have not. Clinics and labs often face growing volume, limited staffing, and the pressure to deliver clear, timely counseling for reproductive, cancer, cardiovascular, and neurogenetic needs. That’s where we come in!

What We Do
At Tandem Genetics, we build the operational scaffolding that makes high-quality genetic counseling possible. Through our network of highly experienced contracted genetic counselors and physician partners, we support every step of the testing journey.
No-Wait Appointments
Patients can self-schedule and typically meet with a counselor within 48-72 hours, easing bottlenecks for clinics and providing timely support for patients navigating complex decisions.

Wraparound Testing Support
From pre-test education to ordering, coordination, & post-test counseling , we streamline the full lifecycle of genetic testing across reproductive, cancer, cardiovascular, & neurogenetic services.

Clinically Aligned Workflows
We partner directly with physicians, labs, & care teams to ensure that testing is appropriate, actionable, and integrated into real-world clinical practice, not an added burden to already busy providers.

Concierge-Level Experience
Clear communication, reliable documentation & thoughtful follow through define our approach. Patients and clinicians receive the kind of support that feels personal, precise, and easy.

At Tandem Genetics, we create the infrastructure that enables exceptional genetic counseling services. Our areas of focus include:
• Reproductive & fertility genetic counseling (IVF, PGT-A, preconception, donor screening)
• Cancer, cardiogenetic, and neurogenetics
• Genetic testing coordination and physician-supported ordering
• Family history evaluations and clear, actionable post-test summaries
• HIPAA-compliant telegenetics services with clinician-aligned communication

What makes Tandem different is simple:
Warm expertise. Clear communication. Clinician-centered collaboration.
We focus on making genetics easier,  for providers, labs, and the patients who trust them.
Every workflow we build is tailored. Most contracted counselor brings 10+ years of experience. Every process is rooted in operational excellence and compassion.
We’re proud to support this community and elevate conversations about where genetic counseling and clinical genetics operations are heading.
