Frontend Engineer (Vue.js) at Sano Genetics

At Sano, we’re revolutionising the way personalised medicine research is conducted, making it more efficient and more human-centric!

Our platform empowers Pharma, Biotechs, Population Genomics Initiatives, and Patient Organizations to run digital and at-home personalised medicine research that is faster, more cost-effective, and more diverse and inclusive than traditional methods. We understand that participating in research can be a difficult and unfulfilling experience for patients. That’s why we are committed to making it easier for individuals to contribute to medical science on their own terms and get more in return.
