E040: Caspar Barnes: Improving Donor Diversity Using Blockchain Technology

Health Creators · 2024-02-08

Why does the current biomedical research system primarily favour Caucasian individuals?

This week I am joined by Casper Barnes, the founder and CEO of AminoChain. He's actively working on rectifying this inequality through the creation of a blockchain-based platform that enables donors to monitor their samples and earn a share of the proceeds when they are utilised for commercial purposes. This will help to incentivise participation in research from a wider range of people, and ensure that donors are fairly compensated for their contributions.

I never dreamed of being a CEO... instead, I studied endless nights to become a Neuroscientist. This was how I would create change in healthcare. In reality, I was a terrible fit for academic research. I remember my old boss telling me 'the change you want to see in a day, you're not going to see in my lifetime or yours....' My first non-academic job was at a biotech startup turning psilocybin into a medicine for depression. Things moved different: closer to my pace. I also saw areas where tech could make things much faster and more efficient. I was inspired and built a company to improve how we develop medicines today: Neuroute. In growing this company (government-backed, VC-backed) over the last 3 years, I've met thousands of people with different backgrounds and inspiring visions of the future. This is my way of sharing what I learn from Creators building the Health of tomorrow. This is Health Creators, I’m Livia Lifes. Let's make healthcare better in this lifetime.
