From the founder
"We want to build the platform that will make personalised medicine a reality"
Patrick Short
CEO at Sano Genetics
Investor perspective
"We firmly believe the future of medicine will be more personalised — and the platform Sano is building will provide researchers with the data they need to enable this future. The fact that Sano’s platform can achieve this whilst also allowing patients to be in the driving seat and preserve their data privacy makes it even more compelling. As a founding team, Patrick, Charlotte and Will have perfect complementary skill sets to make their vision for Sano a reality and we’re delighted to be partnering with them as part of this funding round."
