Illumina, Inc. announced on October 1, 2025 that it has launched BioInsight, a new business unit within the company. The announcement, made today, marks the first time Illumina has created a dedicated division to develop data assets, software, and artificial‑intelligence tools for life‑science research and drug discovery.
BioInsight will be led by Rami Mehio, who will serve as senior vice president and general manager. Mehio has overseen Illumina’s Global Software & Informatics team for four years and brings extensive experience in building AI‑driven analytics platforms for genomics data.
The new unit will focus on three core areas: (1) multimodal data generation and aggregation, including large national research initiatives and corporate partnerships; (2) AI and tool development to turn complex multi‑omic datasets into actionable insights; and (3) building an ecosystem of partners that can leverage Illumina’s data assets for drug target discovery and disease‑mechanism research.
By creating BioInsight, Illumina extends its value chain beyond sequencing instruments and consumables into the growing market for AI‑enabled data analysis. The move positions the company to capture new revenue streams from pharma and biotech clients seeking integrated solutions for target identification, biomarker discovery, and therapeutic development.
