Layne Sadler - KeyBio

Angel Scale Biotech: Learn More

Layne Sadler founded KeyBio to help pharmaceutical companies better identify genetic traits in patients that may explain differing responses to cancer treatments. KeyBio's computational approach promises to add a new dimension to precision medicine, which now looks at the genetics of the tumor, by also incorporating the genetics of the patient to improve outcomes in clinical trials.

Sponsored by Purdue University entrepreneurship and Peter Fasse, patent attorney at Fish and Richardson.
