Founders

Now: 1. arden.bio/service - precision R&D service for unresolved chronic immune-disorder patients 2. tempusirb.com - fast (same-day IRB reviews for research/clinical trials) 2014 to 2023, I was cofounder/CEO of Clip Health (YCS16), a Khosla Ventures and NIH-funded startup. Raised $54M, built a HW/bio/chem rapid diagnostics platform, launched 1st product that shipped >1m units but failed to parlay into sustainable growth. Pre-2014 I got a PhD in bio/chem engg (microfluidics/bacterial dx).

Andrew Paterson
Founder/CTO

I'm a scientist and engineer at heart. I love any and all things science from fundamental physics to chemistry and materials science to biology. My passion in life is to help drive scientific and technological progress by shepherding innovative technologies based on hard science and engineering out of the R&D lab and onto the commercial marketplace. I have 12+ years of experience working at the intersection of biology, chemistry, nanotech, hardware, and software.
