Meet Our Team
When Steve & Gert joined forces back in 2013, they shared a vision to bring a new level of analytical capability to computational biology and healthcare, building on over 20 years’ experience each in delivering new technologies and products to enable the discovery of richer and more useful links between disease and risk.
Steve is former Global Director of Research Informatics for Astra A/B and is an Advisory Council member for Breast Cancer Now and UKCRC. He specialises in semantic data integration and large scale data analytics for healthcare, and has developed an exceptionally efficient approach to generate comprehensive knowledge graphs of interactions between genes, metabolic pathways, diseases, metabolites and drugs.
Gert is the principal inventor on our patents for the RACE technologies and has won a number of major awards for his innovations.
She specialises in bridging the gap from research to commercialisation and has a substantial international network of industry, commercial & investor contacts. She is a former director of corporate strategy and head of venture strategy at AstraZeneca, where she was responsible for AZ’s global corporate venturing activities, including the creation and $40M financing of the company’s first GI spinout, Albireo.
Serdar is passionate about making a lasting impact on people’s lives by helping understand and manage complex diseases. He has a vast experience base and a deep network of professional connections to help him along the way.
Marcin has hands-on design, development and deployment of multitude of technologies ranging from trading systems, bioinformatics and data science. Following graduation from University of Warsaw, he started his PhD during which he applied AI methods in structural bioinformatics. During his postdoctoral research at Mathematical Medicine, Nationwide Childrens’ Hospital, Columbus, OH, Marcin worked on multiple projects that combined next generation sequencing, statistics, bioinformatics and biomedical research.
