Bootstrapped and Profitable Patriot Biotech’s Genomic Ambitions

Dr Gan Han Ming, Co-founder and CEO, Patriot Biotech

Bootstrapped and Profitable Patriot Biotech’s Genomic Ambitions

Founded in 2022, Patriot Biotech describes itself as a group of scientists, inventors, innovators and entrepreneurs who want to bring molecular-based biotechnology to the masses in Malaysia and the world, while nurturing and building local talent and technology.

Today on Open For Business, we explore the ambitions of this startup, their focus on genomics and its applications to aquaculture and value to academia and universities in Malaysia. We’ll also explore Gan's journey to Australia and back, and how that’s informed the way he’s built Patriot Biotech, why he left academia and a stable career, and how he’s built a bootstrapped and profitable business.
