The finalists for Health Innovation of the Year at the GeekWire Awards showcase the strength of science and discovery in the Pacific Northwest. Some have links to the region’s innovation powerhouse at the University of Washington, and several highlight the growing power of computational approaches to address health problems.
The five finalists are: A-Alpha Bio, Parse Biosciences, Tasso, Truveta, and the University of Washington’s Institute for Protein Design.
Fred Hutch spinout Adaptive Biotechnologies, which developed a first-of-its kind diagnostic test for COVID-19, took home the prize last year.
The GeekWire Awards recognize the top innovators and companies in Pacific Northwest technology. Finalists in this category and others were selected based on community nominations, along with input from GeekWire Awards judges. Community voting across all categories will continue until April 22, combined with feedback from judges to determine the winner in each category. We’ll announce the winners on May 12 at the GeekWire Awards, presented by Astound Business Solutions. There are a limited number of table sponsorships available to attend the event.
