Dr Jason Mellad, CEO of Start Codon, said: “Our ambition is to provide life science and healthcare companies with a unique combination of funding, facilities, mentoring and support to fast track their development and success."
The accelerator will support up to 50 startups over the next five years, providing seed funding and preparing them for a successful Series A fundraising.
