GATC Biotech is Europe’s leading service provider of DNA sequencing and bioinformatics for industry and academic research.
For more than two decades we have been continuously developing new and comprehensive solutions for DNA sequencing and bioinformatics sequence evaluation – for individual DNA samples through to complete genome projects.
All our solutions are precisely matched to the specific requirements of the customer. We can do this because we provide multiplatform strategies, using all leading sequencing technologies on the market, such as Applied Biosystems ABI 3730xl for Sanger sequencing, Illumina’s HiSeq 2000 and Roche Diagnostics GS FLX+ System for Next Generation sequencing as well as the new single molecule sequencer PacBio RS from Pacific Biosciences.
We serve over 10,000 customers in 40 countries around the globe and have subsidiary companies in Great Britain, France and Sweden – the fact that GATC Biotech is one of the top companies in this sector is not only down to technical or scientific reasons, however:
The company is still privately owned by the Pohl family. The atmosphere here is therefore very informal with flat hierarchies and uncomplicated structures. The company headquarters in Constance on Lake Constance also maintains a very motivating and inspiring effect on the 150 or so employees in the GATC team.
Swimming, sailing, diving, skiing, snowboarding, climbing, hiking – anything is possible. In Constance, you not only have Germany’s largest lake on your doorstep - the Alps, Switzerland and Austria, and even Italy and France, are only a few hours' drive away.
Not forgetting the historical town of Constance itself, famous for its church council (Council of Constance, 1414-18) and university: A shopping trip in the picturesque old town, an ice cream on the lakeside promenade, a thrilling concert in the Lake Constance Stadium and much more – here you can see the lively Mediterranean side of Germany!
If you would like to enjoy one of the most beautiful regions in Europe on a long-term basis - here are our job offers.
