delivering same-morning results through our runway-adjacent lab and UPS Healthcare partnership.
Aura Genetics teams with UPS Healthcare for expansion, expedited lab results delivery.
Louisville, Kentucky – Aura Genetics, a high-complexity diagnostic laboratory servicing the booming at-home testing and wellness market, has teamed up with UPS Healthcare to build Aura’s new headquarters in Louisville, Kentucky. Aura’s main lab will be constructed at the end of the runway at the Louisville airport, giving Aura Genetics an unprecedented logistical advantage to provide test results faster.
“At-home testing and wellness is the future of healthcare.” said Aura Genetics CEO Jim Thompson. “Whether it’s a desire to lose weight, optimize hormones or check your sensitivity to food or medications, people are taking a more proactive approach with their health and opting for the convenience of TeleHealth and Health Spa services.” Thompson went on to say, “The majority of wellness companies outsource their testing services to labs like us. Our exclusive ability to provide test results considerably faster than any other lab will give the wellness companies we service a huge advantage. Wellness companies working with us can offer VIP service allowing their customers to ship to the lab by dinner and receive test results by breakfast.”
Aura Genetics COO Anthony Nuccio said, “Our new lab is literally at the end of the runway at UPS’ busiest shipping hub. Our in-bound packages that begin offloading from UPS aircraft just after midnight will immediately proceed into our highly automated lab facility. Aura’s sophisticated operation will allow it to process those results by 8 a.m. That’s before other labs even begin to receive their deliveries,” he said, adding that service this fast is what appeals to at-home wellness consumers. “It’s one of many things that will distinguish Aura from all other labs.” Aura has also validated the processing of samples drawn by the user friendly ‘Tasso’ device. “You stick it on your upper arm and click it like an easy button instead of a painful finger prick or venipuncture draw.” added Nuccio.
Aura touts a robust testing portfolio that ranges from simple blood tests to full DNA sequencing. Aura’s Youngstown, Ohio, facility will continue to service current customers and support the initial integration and onboarding of new customers before the Louisville facility is completed in September 2025.

Medication Optimization Service, Beyond PGx Testing: PGx tests use DNA to help determine how a person’s genes affect how their body responds to (metabolizes) medications. While PGx results are incredibly useful, they are only part of the big picture needed to optimize a person’s medications. For example, simply switching out a poorly metabolized medication for one that is metabolized normally per a PGx result could actually trigger other negative events such as Drug-Drug interactions, Drug-Lifestyle interactions (what a person eats, drinks or smokes), Anticholinergic Burden risks, and more. Personalized medicine is key to optimizing patient care.

There is no other test and recurring optimization service like it on the market!
