Affiliated companies


The Novogenia Group consists of several companies in the field of human genetics, biotechnology, and food supplements. These companies include Genosense Diagnostics, the global pioneer in the field of preventive genetic testing, Novogenia, an innovative technology lab, DNA Plus, the European leader in the field of preventive and lifestyle genetic testing, GenomePlus, a company focused on dietary supplements and medical products manufacturing based on individual genetic data, CDEMAC, the neonatal screening laboratory, and the two marketing companies DNA Plus Middle East and AstraGenix, serving the Middle Eastern and the US markets respectively.

The Novogenia GmbH was founded by Dr. Daniel Wallerstorfer in 2009, in Austria, and received in the same year the license for medical genetic testing from the Federal Ministry of Health.

In 2011, the Novogenia GmbH created the Novogenia laboratory network. Within a short time, more than 100 medical genetic laboratories were added to this network, with a portfolio of more than 3000 various medical genetic testing.

In 2012, the Novogenia GmbH took over the worldwide pioneer in preventive genetic diagnostics, GENOSENSE Diagnostics GmbH, with more than eleven years of experience in this area.

In 2013, Novogenia prepared again to extend its portfolio in new business areas, such as dietary supplements based on genetic data. This project was launched in 2014.

Since 2014, we now differentiate between the two brands DNAnutriControl (lifestyle diagnostic genetic testing) and DNAhealthControl (medical genetic testing), which we sell throughout Europe in cooperation with our partners.

The Novogenia Group is one of Europe’s market leaders in lifestyle and genetic diagnostics and a global pioneer in preventive genetic diagnostics.

What makes us special – The advantages of Novogenia

FULL STATEMENT OF

DR. DANIEL WALLERSORFER


‘’In 2001, with the completion of the Human Genome Project, we first got an insight into the entire blueprint of the human body. Since then, genetics science has grown exponentially, and we now understand a great deal about the genetic basis of diseases, the effects of drugs, the important nutrients, and the causes and differences in skin aging.

So far genetics has been an innate fate to live with. Meanwhile, we know enough about it to intervene in these processes. With Novogenia we have set ourselves the goal of enabling people to take a look into their genome, to discover the reason for their own uniqueness and, above all, to achieve specific goals with this knowledge. Medication intolerances, which until now have simply occurred by chance and are one of the leading causes of death, can now be easily anticipated and avoided. Disease risks are detected in advance and can be effectively combated. Likewise, it is finally possible to find out how your body reacts to nutrients and calories and how to really feed yourself optimally. With this knowledge, innate weaknesses have become the real strengths in personalized nutrition and disease prevention’’
