Corentin Gondrand

CEO & Co-Founder @ QuantiLight

About

After a PhD in France in the field of medicinal chemistry and a postdoctoral experience in chemical biology, I am now the CEO and co-founder of QuantiLight, a pre-seed spin-off from the Max-Planck Institute for medical research in Heidelberg, Germany. Together with my co-founders, we develop an at-home blood testing platform for chronic patients in need for Therapeutic Drug Monitoring. It is fueled by the bioluminescent sensor technology developed in the group of Professor Kai Johnsson. Translating the cool science we develop in the lab into meaningful products that can enhance patients' quality of life and make healthcare more accessible is my passion and my everyday work.
