This month, we were celebrating the National Hispanic Heritage Month in the US. And what better way to celebrate it than to invite the Latino founder of a solution dedicated to the Latino population!
In this episode, Alex Rochegude, Cofounder of Predictiv, invited Federico Von Son, CEO and Cofounder of SOMOS Ancestria, to discuss about how personalized medicine could be targeted to Latino populations.
Latin America represents 25% of all the pharma industry revenue. However, the Latino population accounts for less than 1.2% of all genomic data used for drug discovery, and less than 1% in clinical trials. SOMOS is changing this by creating the world’s largest Latino population biobank, and providing high-resolution genomic services to the more than 650 million Latinos worldwide!
