About Translo


We are a venture-backed Harvard-MIT startup using blockchain and distributed systems technology to build a decentralized biomedical data marketplace for clinical trials. Data has become the most precious resource of our time and we strongly believe our platform will unlock unprecedented medical insights, empower patients, and create efficiencies in cost, time, and risks to lower drug prices and shorten the drug pipeline time to market.

We are a lean, tenacious machine powered by some of the sharpest, most passionate people we could find. We want to use bleeding-edge innovations in distributed systems, machine learning and artificial intelligence, and cryptography to share and compute on biomedical data in a secure and privacy-preserving environment. We are passionate about this issue and are looking for others who care deeply about data sharing and improving our healthcare research ecosystem.
