Abel Ureta-Vidal, Founder and CEO of Eagle Genomics, says: “We are really excited to be back on the Genome Campus. This is the natural home for our company, sharing the space with other like-minded people in the fields of biology, genomics, big data and software, already accelerating the pace of our innovation The move puts us on the map at the centre of one of the most renowned centres in our field and has raised our profile from day one.”
