Description: TEDMED 2020 Hive Innovator: William Dunbar CTO & Co-Founder, Ontera Bio ---- Ontera Bio is democratizing precision diagnostics to create a more sustainable planet. By counting molecules that matter, we enable fast and precise identification of targets, diseases and resistances where and when needed. With the development of NanoDetector and NanoMapper, our platforms are positioned to revolutionize molecular diagnostics. We fight the rise of super pests in plants, animals and humans by identifying pathogens and treatment resistance at the point of need. By bringing molecular precision to the field, we enable a more efficient and transparent supply chain. We are building tools to map the epigenome that will accelerate research and innovation in human health and agricultural technology.
