During her time there, she felt frustrated by a system built around monetizing illness instead of incentivizing prevention. She wanted to build a business that would help people prevent illness rather than profit from it.
Additionally, getting access to and understanding her own genetic information had always been one of her ambitions. Wojcicki started 23andMe with the hope to empower others with access to their own genetic information and to create a way to generate more personalized information so commercial and academic researchers could better understand and develop new drugs and diagnostics.

She wanted to build a business that helps people prevent illness rather than profit from it. Anne focused on empowering people with direct access to genetic information so that they could use their data to make decisions that could lower their risks for disease. Under her leadership, 23andMe now provides the only personal genetic test with FDA authorization to deliver health information directly to consumers.

23andMe has built one of the world’s largest databases of individual genetic information. Its novel, web-based research approach allows for the rapid recruitment of participants to many genome-wide association studies at once, reducing the time and money needed to make new discoveries. The company has also created a proven and standardized resource for finding new genetic associations and confirming genetic loci discovered by others. Under Wojcicki’s leadership, 23andMe has made significant advances in bringing personalized medicine directly to the public.
