ABOUT ANDREW HERON
I’m a scientist, technologist, investor and entrepreneur. I work at the intersection of engineering biology, single-molecule biosensing, and AI to develop novel platform technologies for measuring biology better. With two decades focused on developing next-generation nanopore-based sequencing and biosensing technologies, my work has helped lay the foundation for some of the most transformative tools in genomics and molecular diagnostics. I’ve dedicated my career to developing scalable, real-world applications of single-molecule technologies, first in the realm of DNA and RNA, and now to unlock the proteome. As CEO and co-founder of Portal Biotech, I have the privilege of leading an exceptional team building the world’s first platform for full-length, single-molecule protein sequencing. We\'re reimagining proteomics and metabolomics by building a versatile and accessible benchtop platform for comprehensive characterisation of proteins and metabolites. Our ultimate goal is to make protein sequencing as ubiquitous as genomic sequencing is today, with the aim of accelerating drug development and discovery pipelines, enabling faster and more accurate diagnostics, and enhancing global biosecurity and resilience to future biothreats.
