Leadership Comments

"Every patient leaves a barcode of their disease in their tissue, and until now no one has been able to read those barcodes at scale," said Asad Ali Ahmad, Ph.D., CEO and Co-Founder, Network Bio. "Working with the biobanks of some of the country's leading academic medical centers, we built the network that makes reading them possible.

“No single academic medical center can capture the full complexity of human disease," said Kimberly Muller, Chief Innovation Officer, CU Anschutz Innovations. "By bringing together biobanks from leading institutions with industry partners, Network Bio is creating a research resource that reflects diverse patient populations and supports discoveries that can translate into real-world clinical practice."
