Advisors
Bob Kain
Former Chief Engineering Officer Illumina and a renowned pioneer in genomics. Bob led the invention of the modern, high throughput genome sequencer that brought the cost from millions of dollars down to less than $1000 and led to Illumina’s success and domination of the NGS field. Bob is lead inventor on 28 U.S. patents that led to the breakthroughs that have revolutionized genome sequencing.
