Professor Stephen Henry, Kode Biotech Ltd
Steve’s early studies were of glycolipids (which can hop into cells and label them) before he switched to creating synthetic analogues. The work evolved into Kode technology – 3D bioactive paint that allows the rapid modification of virtually any biological or non-biological surface and can be used to create novel diagnostic and therapeutic products.
Steve is a Fellow of the Royal Society of NZ and has received its Scott Medal and Pickering Medal, and in 2015 was the winner of NZ’s Supreme Innovator Award.
