THE GENARO TEAM

Frédéric FINA | Président Fondateur | Co-inventeur Directeur Scientifique de GENARO
CEO, SD, Co-Founder

Frédéric FINA

A Doctor in Molecular Biology, he worked for over 25 years as Technical Director of a technological platform in the field of oncogenetics for the Public Assistance of Hospitals of Marseille (AP-HM).

Co-inventor, with Alain Biancotto, of the patent on which GENARO is developing its process, he is also co-founder of the company where he serves as CEO and Scientific Director.

Notably, he was a pioneer in France in 2003 for obtaining accreditation to ISO 15189 for molecular biology analyses. In 2013, he structured a high-throughput sequencing platform (NGS, Junior 454 Roche Diagnostic). Before his departure from AP-HM in 2021, he structured a methylome analysis platform (IScan, Illumina).

He then contributed, as an associate and Scientific Director, to the success of the company ID-Solutions, which managed to establish itself during the SARS-CoV2 crisis as one of the main suppliers of PCR test reagents in infectiology in France. ID Solutions was ISO 13485 certified in 2022. He took the lead in Marseille of the ID Solutions Oncology subsidiary.

He now devotes himself entirely to GENARO.
