Our incredible team are here for you

Dr Nicole Williams

Medical Laboratory Director
"Dr. Nicole Williams, a Kenyan-born physician, earned his MD and completed an accredited Laboratory Genetics & Genomics fellowship in the United States, directing next-generation sequencing and hereditary cancer testing under CLIA/CAP standards. After several years leading molecular oncology diagnostics at a major U.S. cancer center, he returned home to serve as Medical Laboratory Director at DNA Labs Kenya, where he now oversees all genetic and oncogenetic testing, drives quality and compliance, and spearheads regional initiatives to expand precision medicine across East Africa."

Bjorn Gunnarson

Bioinformatician & Data Analyst
"Dr. Bjorn Gunnarson, a Kenyan-born bioinformatician, completed her MSc and PhD in Bioinformatics and Genomic Data Analytics in the United States, where she spent a decade refining next-generation sequencing (NGS) pipelines, automating GATK-based variant calling, and integrating multi-omics data sets for large oncology and rare-disease programs. Now back home as Head of Bioinformatics & Data Analytics at DNA Labs Kenya, she directs ISO-compliant NGS workflows, architects cloud-based interpretation platforms, and mentors a cross-functional team that translates complex genomic data into clear, clinically actionable insights for physicians across East Africa."

Charlotte Banks

Certified Genetic Counselor
"Dr. Charlotte Banks, a Kenyan physician-scientist, earned her MD in the United States, completed an ABGC-accredited master’s program to become a board-certified genetic counselor, and spent seven years at a leading U.S. medical center translating next-generation sequencing data into actionable care plans for oncology, prenatal, and rare-disease patients. Now back home as Lead Genetic Counselor at DNA Labs Kenya, she combines deep molecular biology expertise with compassionate, culturally attuned counseling to interpret complex variants, guide families through hereditary cancer testing, and mentor clinicians as the lab expands precision-medicine services across East Africa."

Sam Gallagher

Customer Support
"Dr. Sam Gallagher, a Kenyan molecular biologist, earned his MSc in Molecular Biology in the United States, where he spent eight years refining next-generation sequencing (NGS) workflows at leading clinical genomics labs, from optimizing Illumina and Ion Torrent library prep to building automated variant-calling pipelines for oncology and rare-disease panels. Now back home as Head of the NGS Department at DNA Labs Kenya, he directs assay development, oversees ISO-compliant quality systems, mentors bioinformaticians and technologists, and drives collaborations that are expanding high-throughput genomic diagnostics across East Africa."
I walked into DNA Labs Kenya with doubts that were tearing my life apart; the staff gently took quick cheek swabs, explained every step, and five days later a secure report confirmed 0 % probability of paternity—painful, but finally definitive. I can now move forward knowing the truth. If you need certainty, trust these people.

When chemo choices were running out, DNA Labs Kenya’s PGx test changed everything. A simple blood draw, a compassionate team, and ten days later a report pinpointed two targeted drugs my genes would respond to—my scans are finally improving and the side-effects are lighter. They didn’t just give me data; they gave me real hope.
