BILHI Genetics scientific discoveries are based on 40 years of research on Bilharzia, a neglected tropical illness affecting the poorest populations of the planet.
These populations are still very far from being world health priorities and unfortunately benefit from very few medical advancements.Based on this information, BILHI Genetics was created from the researchers’ desire to utilize their discoveries to help people most in need. Replacing social innovation withtechnological innovation, developing a virtuous economic model combining economic profit and social impact: these are the challenges that the founders are facing. These are also the sources of inspiration towards the company values.
