Product Design Lead

Our mission

Were powering biologys century with radically faster more reliable clinical trials. Every new treatment needs clinical trials to prove safety and efficacy but todays infrastructure is stuck in the past- driving up cost causing delays and ultimately meaning new treatments dont get to patients. Were fundamentally changing that- not just being a better CRO but transforming how people think about developing new treatments so patients can access breakthrough treatments faster.

Our impact speaks for itself: Since March 2021 weve powered 100 clinical trials involving tens of thousands of patients. We recently raised a $55M Series B from Balderton Capital alongside backing from Creandum Firstminute Seedcamp and Visionaries.
