About Francesco Gatto, CSO & Co-founder, Elypta

Francesco was named MIT Innovators Under 35 in Europe in 2018 and Pioneer of the Year for the same list. He holds a Ph.D. in Systems Biology from Chalmers University of Technology and an M.Sc. in Chemical Engineering from the University of Padova. His research projects resulted in three patent families that paved the way to the foundation of Elypta, whose core technology revolves around an innovative liquid biopsy for cancer, possibly the first one based on metabolism. He led the early entrepreneurial activities to secure venture capital and public funding now exceeding 10 M€. He is the project leader for an EU Horizon2020 grant to conduct the largest ever clinical study in kidney cancer diagnostics. He has authored 20+ papers on cancer research. He lectured in international advanced courses in systems biology, co-organized two national conferences, contributed to the National Encyclopedia of Italy, and was an invited speaker in several conferences and symposia - including the EU Joint Research Centre. He is a member of the American Association of Cancer Research, the European Association of Urology, and the American Society of Clinical Oncology and the Aspen Institute (Italian Talents Abroad).

About Elypta

Elypta is a molecular diagnostic company focused on preventing cancer mortality by developing a liquid biopsy platform for the detection and monitoring of the disease. The approach is based on the measurement of the complete profile of human glycosaminoglycans as biomarkers of tumor metabolism and the use of machine learning algorithms to generate a score against cancer-type specific signatures. Studies have shown exceptional accuracy in renal cell carcinoma and the clinical development program includes multiple other indications.

The academic research & development leading to the founding of Elypta were conducted at the Systems and Synthetic Biology division, Department of Biology and Biological Engineering at Chalmers University of Technology, Gothenburg, Sweden. Read more on https://elypta.com/
