About GeneSprout
Our Story
GeneSprout was founded on a simple belief: every family deserves clear, compassionate guidance through the complexities of genetic health.

Founder & Chief Executive Officer, GeneSprout
“Every family deserves answers — not years of uncertainty. We built GeneSprout to close that gap.”
Dr. Ann Wu is a board-certified pediatric geneticist with over 15 years of clinical and research experience in rare disease diagnosis and genomic medicine. Prior to founding GeneSprout, she led the pediatric genomics program at Boston Children`s Hospital`, where she oversaw the clinical interpretation of whole exome and whole genome sequencing for complex pediatric cases.
Her work sits at the intersection of clinical medicine, translational genomics, and health equity — and is motivated by the observation that diagnostic delays remain one of the most preventable harms in pediatric care.
