As a rule, prevention is often better than cure. When it comes to personal health, we often rely on our doctor and regular check ups to tell us how our body is doing and what we can do to improve. Now, in the age of modern diagnostics, we can take our health firmly in our own hands.

In this episode of BioInnovation Spotlight, we talk to Dr Nina Patrick, the CEO and co-founder of MiProbes, an early stage company based in Berlin. MiProbes is developing diagnostics that allow instant at-home health tracking and optimisation.

Nina originally worked in San Francisco biotechs before coming to Europe to start her company. Her technology combines DNA biosensors which can be rapidly scaled with computer algorithms in an app to help people track and improve their health.
