The DNA University Difference
Our Story
DNA University was established to address the growing demand for personalized healthcare solutions and the need for skilled providers with up-to-date expertise in genomics and functional wellness. Seeing an opportunity to expand and elevate the program, Tracy Wood, CEO of The DNA Company, worked with her clinical team to broaden the curriculum and provide comprehensive education in Precision Wellness.
She brought on Dr. Lara Varden as Dean of Students to help build a curriculum that not only addressed current advancements in genetic research but also offered practical, scientifically-backed tools for healthcare professionals. Together, alongside Dr. Krista Kostroman, CSO of The DNA Company, they have developed DNA-U into a leading platform where practitioners can learn how to effectively integrate genetic insights into clinical practice, adapting to the rising expectations for individualized healthcare. Today, DNA-U stands at the forefront of transforming wellness education by equipping professionals with the skills to deliver personalized care and optimize patient outcomes.
