Innovation and research need large amounts of capital, something that makes it an unpopular sector for people who want to begin a startup.
In the video that follows, Philippos Patsalis, geneticist, former Health Minister and current CEO of NIPD Genetics, talks about the patent of Veracity, a non-invasive prenatal testing method which clinics all around the world use.
