I'm Elizabeth Iorns, founder and CEO of Science Exchange, a marketplace for outsourced research and development, working with major pharmaceutical and science companies.

I started Science Exchange to solve my own problem as a breast cancer researcher who was frustrated with the process of farming out experiments.

I'm Elizabeth Iorns, the founder and CEO of Science Exchange, and I have a background in cancer biology, having completed my PhD at the Institute of Cancer Research in London and a postdoc at the University of Miami before starting Science Exchange in 2011 as part of Y Combinator's summer batch.

I started Science Exchange because I saw how scientific research was evolving and becoming more specialized and multidisciplinary, which made collaborations inefficient.

Marketplaces like Science Exchange need to be the platform that companies use for all their projects, not just a one-off shopping experience, to be truly effective.

In a hundred years, Science Exchange will continue to enable scientific breakthroughs by providing infrastructure for collaboration among researchers.

Quality control is a core value proposition for Science Exchange, where all suppliers are qualified before being listed on the marketplace, ensuring high standards.

We're building a platform for scientific collaboration, connecting researchers and improving the efficiency of scientific research.

The decision to initiate the reproducibility initiative was a game-changer for Science Exchange, enhancing its branding and opening doors to pharmaceutical partnerships.
