Episode 16 is the first time the podcast hosts James Parton and Adelina Chalmers have spoken to a genomics start-up CEO.
Patrick Short of Sano Genetics talks about entrepreneurship at The University of Cambridge, the experiences that he and his two co-founders have had since attending the billion pound scale-up challenge event in August (episode 13), how they are building intimate relationships with their customers, their duty of care with their user's data, and how they will continue to deliver that at scale.
The company is based around connecting people to research, genomics and personalised medicine, giving people control of their data and doing research in a patient-centric way. They have patients and patient organisations that work with the company to get involved in clinical trials and gain access to research, and they work with researchers and help them to analyse genetic data from these patients or generate new data.
