Provo, Utah (April 15, 2014) — Tute Genomics, the company developing next-generation technology for clinical genome analysis, was recently named one of StartUp Health’s “Healthcare Transformers” of 2014. According to StartUp Health, the first global long-term growth academy for health and wellness entrepreneurs, the Healthcare Transformers program honors and connects “extraordinary and passionate entrepreneurs and innovators on a mission to solve one of the great challenges of our time: fixing a broken healthcare system in ways that significantly reduce costs and dramatically improve care.”
By joining in the ranks of StartUp Health’s Healthcare Transformers, Tute Genomics is expected to greatly expand its web-based software by making it accessible to healthcare facilities across the globe. Even more medical professionals and researchers will be able to utilize the capabilities of Tute Genomics’ cloudbased clinical genome interpretation platform for a myriad of applications, which in turn will lay new roads for understanding and use of this advanced technology.
Tute Genomics CoFounders, Reid Robison MD MBA and Kai Wang, PhD, joined last week at Google’s New York City office with other participants in the Healthcare Transformers program for StartUp Health’s Healthcare Reimagined Summit. The event kicked off the start of this year’s academy for a brand new group of entrepreneurs. Dr. Robison and Dr. Wang presented Tute Genomics’ genome analysis and interpretation platform at the meeting, explaining how the technology is transforming healthcare by helping healthcare organizations make sense of genetic data.
