About us
cogniDNA was founded in Silicon Valley by Alper-Science PhD from Carnegie Mellon University and his friend David-who is a computer scientist and worked as a software engineer at 23andMe.
Alper thinks genetics is the most powerful tool for a person to know about himself, so wanted to create a product that would use the latest research results to help people to improve their life.
We have a team that is expert in genetics. We want to create a truly helpful product to solve the problems people face when making decisions in life and know their fitness, mental, and cognitive skills.
We have bold ideas and are not afraid to act on them. We strongly believe genetics can have a positive impact on people's life, and improve their life quality.
We are helping people understand their potential
