About

San Diego-based DNA sequencing leader Illumina laid off 151 employees at its headquarters and a nearby site, effective August 14, 2023. This is part of a broader cost-cutting plan to reduce annual expenses by over $100 million. The layoffs, primarily affecting manufacturing, engineering, and talent acquisition roles, represent a small fraction of its global workforce of 10,200. This action occurs amidst company turmoil, including a CEO resignation, a proxy fight, and ongoing legal battles over its contested acquisition of Grail, which regulators have ordered it to divest.
