Genpax

Genpax is building a game-changing bacterial analysis platform. This is an opportunity to have a real-world impact on thousands of lives each year. Infection control is the practical, evidence-based approach which prevents patients and health workers from being harmed by avoidable infection. No one should catch an infection while receiving health care, yet, these infections can spread through outbreaks and regular care practices, affecting hundreds of millions of people across the world every year. At Genpax our goal is to radically increase the utility, scalability, and speed with which genome sequencing data delivers infection control solutions for human and animal healthcare worldwide. This will enable proactive control at early stages of outbreaks, and to respond appropriately to more dangerous or more antibiotic resistant strains. We have developed unique solutions to address the challenges and our goal is to provide access to these solutions in a fully scalable system. We already have a world-class scientific team of bioinformaticians, and we're building out an engineering team to match. We need to productionise the analysis pipeline to scale out, and design and build a stunning user-facing product. We’re still in early stages, but so far we’re using Python, GraphQL and React/TypeScript/d3.
