Executive Summary
Pathogenica, co-founded by Harvard's George Church, PhD, views itself as an "apps" company for a variety of human genome sequencing platforms. Its BioDetection system has the potential to screen thousands of samples, each tested for hundreds of unique pathogen strains at a predicted cost of less than one dollar per pathogen. The start-up aims to enable effective and affordable pathogen sequencing in a wide range of markets - physician, veterinary, and farming - not just scientific.
