Qlu Health is on a mission to improve the health of people around the world through the power of genetics.
This mission is driven by our co-founder Shamshad Ahmed whose 30 years of experience in the life science industry saw him establish his own successful clinical trial business before launching Smart Cells International Ltd, the UK’s first private stem cell banking company, followed by Qlu Health Limited in 2018.
Trust – your DNA is safe with us.
Shamshad’s 30 year background in clinical trials and the creation of the UK’s first stem cell company means you can rely on us to provide quality services, reporting & protection of your DNA.
Our passion is matched by our scientific backing. Qlu works with several leading laboratories and researchers including world-class authority on nutrition and Science Advisory Board member Ahmed El-Sohemy, PhD, along with members of the Hudson Alpha Institute for Biotechnology – one of the leading genetics research companies in the world. Every one of our home genetic tests is carried out in either CAP, CLIA, and ASHI accredited clinical laboratories.
Personal – we are real people you can meet and speak to.
Helping you take steps to manage your health is what we’ve been doing for 30 years. If you need to speak with us, we’re here to support you all the way.
Through our work with these partners, Qlu has developed a clinical strength test portfolio, designed to be easily understandable, that can be offered directly to the public. Qlu takes scientifically complex information and converts it into actionable reports for individuals to understand and apply to their lives.

All too often medical care focuses on responding to an event, instead of preventing conditions. We want health to be perceived as a proactive pursuit driven by personalised knowledge. This is why Qlu chose to focus on genetic testing as the tool to aide its mission. Genetic testing can provide a look into the future for a wide array of medical and lifestyle related conditions.
Following a genetically appropriate diet can reduce your risk of heart disease, diabetes, stroke, and common nutrition related morbidities.
