AgriMetis reflects a vanguard in a new way of delivering innovation. Their lead programs are excitingly close to market, and the pipeline behind them is impressive and deep. I’m very excited to apply my technical and business insight as part of the AgriMetis scientific advisory board and am very pleased to serve alongside this illustrious group of people with such an impressive track record.
