Sequence Dynamics Careers & Recruitment

Corporate Overview & History

Sequence Dynamics Ltd. (often abbreviated as SeqDyn) is a premier Indian biotechnology firm that specializes in next‑generation sequencing (NGS), bio‑informatics, and precision‑medicine solutions. The company was incorporated in 2015 by a group of genomics researchers and serial entrepreneurs led by Dr. Ananya Rao, a former senior scientist at the Indian Institute of Science (IISc). The founding vision was to democratize high‑throughput DNA/RNA sequencing for Indian research institutes, pharmaceutical companies, and clinical labs, thereby accelerating the nation’s transition to data‑driven life‑science innovation.

Within three years, Sequence Dynamics established its first state‑of‑the‑art sequencing facility in Bangalore’s International Tech Park (ITPL), equipped with Illumina NovaSeq 6000, PacBio Sequel II, and Oxford Nanopore PromethION platforms. By 2020, the firm expanded to Hyderabad’s Genome Valley and Pune’s Bio‑Tech Park, creating a tri‑city network that serves over 300 academic, biotech, and pharma clients across India and Southeast Asia.

Core mission: “To enable every researcher and clinician in India to unlock the power of genomics through affordable, reliable, and scalable services.” The company’s values—innovation, integrity, and impact—guide its R&D, client engagement, and employee culture.

Core Business Operations & Divisions

Sequence Dynamics operates through four inter‑linked divisions:

• Genomics Services: Whole‑genome sequencing, exome sequencing, transcriptomics, epigenomics, and metagenomics for academic and commercial projects.
• Clinical Diagnostics: Targeted gene panels, liquid‑biopsy assays, and companion‑diagnostic development for oncology, rare‑disease, and prenatal testing.
• Bio‑informatics & Data Analytics: Custom pipeline development, cloud‑based data storage, AI‑driven variant interpretation, and visualization tools.
• Research & Development (R&D): In‑house assay design, CRISPR‑based functional genomics, and collaborations with biotech start‑ups for novel therapeutic targets.

Technology hubs are co‑located with the sequencing labs:

• Bangalore (HQ): Central sequencing hub, AI‑bioinformatics lab, and corporate functions (finance, HR, sales).
• Hyderabad: Clinical diagnostics unit, regulatory affairs, and a GMP‑certified sample processing lab.
• Pune: R&D innovation center focusing on assay development and partnership incubation.
• Chennai & Gurgaon: Satellite sales & support offices that manage client onboarding and field service.
