Talk: “Sniffing out disease with biology reimagined” with Rosa biotech | Obst, Senior Scientist + Clinical Lead (Wednesday 30 November 09:00 - 09:45)
Join us either virtually or in-person at the Health Tech Hub, UWE for a short talk from Rosa Biotech Senior Scientist and Clinical Lead Ulrike Obst followed by informal networking. Teas, coffees & pastries will be provided.
Company Bio: Our vision is to provide patients and clinicians with the benefits of early diagnosis of a broad spectrum of diseases by combining the power of protein design and machine learning. Rosa was spun out from the University of Bristol in 2019 based on >10 years of research in the lab of world-leading protein designer Prof. Dek Woolfson. We are backed by experienced business angels. Since incorporation, Rosa's multidisciplinary team has demonstrated that its innovative sensing platform, Pandra, can detect life-threatening diseases with high accuracy in patient samples.
We are currently collaborating with scientists, clinicians and industry to further develop and validate Pandra, and bring our first tests into the clinic. We are a proud part of the Science Creates deep tech ecosystem in the heart of Bristol. We operate a dedicated laboratory at Science Creates St Philips Incubator, which is home to over 20 deep tech companies and provides a melting pot of academic researchers, startup and spinout companies and investors.
