Speaker Profile
CEO, bioSyntagma
Biography
Mr. Richardson’s company is focused on preventing trial-and-error cancer treatments by using predictive analytics to recommend treatment regimens that avoid drug resistance. His team has developed technology for mapping tumors that creates spatial (in-situ) and multi-omic data to form comprehensive, network-level understanding of tumors. Richardson’s team started development of the technology in 2016 and has since optimized its use for clinical patient samples and demonstrated novel screening methods in breast cancer patients with industry partners. Mr. Richardson and his team have received multiple awards and recognitions for their work, including the Flinn Foundation’s Bioscience Entrepreneurship Award, an Arizona Bioscience Award for Rapid Commercialization, Best Oncology-Focused Precision Medicine Company, and named one of Arizona’s Top 12 to Watch in Business for 2019. They have also won several National Science Foundation and National Cancer Institute grants to continue development of their technology.
