Individualised Precision Medicine: Shaping the Ecosystem of Genetics
Clinician-led genetics, whole exome sequencing, biological-age testing, and longevity counseling in Athens
About
Astrea Health is an Athens precision-medicine and clinical-genetics practice built around clinician-led testing rather than self-serve reports. Director Constantine A. Stratakis, MD, D(Med)Sci, PhD brings former NIH/NICHD genetics and endocrinology leadership, 800+ publications, and an active IMBB/FORTH role into the clinic. The practice combines whole-exome sequencing, disease panels, biological-age testing, imaging coordination, and genetic counseling for people who want prevention and longevity planning grounded in genomic risk.
What to Know
Signature approach
Care starts with a clinical consult, then the test mix is chosen around family history, symptoms, risk questions, and longevity goals. Whole-exome sequencing, disease panels, biological-age tests, imaging, and biochemistry feed into a follow-up interpretation session, where the team turns findings into prevention, surveillance, nutrition, exercise, and follow-up-testing decisions.
What sets them apart
- Director-level genetics leadership. The director formerly led NIH/NICHD genetics and endocrinology programs, has 800+ publications, and identified PRKAR1A in Carney complex.
- Clinic-plus-lab model. Scientific Manager Christoforos Giatzakis, PhD and the lab team support whole-exome sequencing, variant calling, and disease-panel interpretation inside the same practice.
- Greek LifeX and Healthspan ties. Astrea is the sole Greek distributor for LifeX DNA and a Healthspan Digital affiliate for TruAge biological-age testing.
Before You Book
- Quote-based program. Expect the first consult to define which tests, imaging, and follow-up cadence belong in your plan before a written quote is set.
- Appointment-led care. Sampling, counseling, and result reviews are coordinated through the Athens clinic rather than a walk-in or self-serve kit flow.
- Director involvement. If you specifically want Constantine Stratakis involved, confirm that during scheduling; the broader genetics and lab team carries much of the day-to-day workflow.
- International logistics. Counseling can be online, but sampling and imaging require Athens coordination or a partner location.

Pricing
In practiceAdd-ons, payment details, and coverage limits.
Astrea is contact-for-quote across the public offer. The longevity program is framed as 1-, 3-, and 5-year subscriptions, but the actual cost depends on which genetic tests, biological-age tools, imaging, biochemistry, and follow-up cadence are included. Plan for private-pay budgeting in euros; no EOPYY or insurance pathway is part of the public offer. International patients should also account for travel, local sampling, and any imaging-center fees tied to the plan.

Frequently asked questions
Does Astrea Health take insurance?
Astrea uses a contact-for-quote model and does not present EOPYY or insurance billing as part of the public offer. Treat the program as private-pay and request a written quote after the clinical team defines your testing and follow-up plan.
What does a first visit look like?
A first appointment scopes the right clinical question: family history, personal history, longevity goals, and the tests that make sense. Sampling or imaging is then coordinated, and the results come back through a clinical interpretation or counseling session.
Are LifeX DNA and TruAge tests available here?
Yes. Astrea is the sole distributor of LifeX DNA Health Test products in Greece and offers TruAge COMPLETE and TruAge PACE through its Healthspan Digital affiliate relationship, alongside telomere analysis.
Can international patients be seen?
Yes, with planning. Astrea describes regional reach across Southeast Europe, the Middle East, and North Africa. Counseling can happen online, while sampling, imaging, and parts of the longevity workup need Athens coordination or a partner location.
Is this a direct-to-consumer genetic test provider?
No. Astrea keeps genetic testing inside a clinical relationship. Tests are selected, ordered, interpreted, and followed by the medical or genetic-counseling team instead of being sold as self-serve reports.
