Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolPatrick Short is a founder and CEO with 11 years of experience at the intersection of genomics, machine learning, and product-led healthcare, currently leading Sano Genetics to speed personalized medicine through privacy-first, participant-centric research platforms. He built the company on deep research roots from a Wellcome Trust PhD in Mathematical Genomics and Medicine at the Sanger Institute, where he focused on non-coding mutations in developmental disorders. Comfortable switching between hands-on technical roles and executive leadership, he has taught machine learning courses, done biomedical NLP, and analyzed complex genomic data, giving him rare fluency across research, data science, and product. His work emphasizes automating end-to-end study workflows—consent, at-home testing, genetic counselling and trial matchmaking—to make clinical research faster and cheaper. Based in Cambridge, he blends academic rigor with startup execution and a practical focus on user engagement and privacy that’s not obvious from the CEO title alone.
