Lumito has established a Scientific Advisory Board (SAB) to primarily support its ongoing commercialisation and, in the longer term, to strengthen the company’s strategic efforts toward a product for clinical use. The board comprises globally recognised experts in pathology, diagnostics, oncology, digitalisation, and drug development, with extensive experience spanning academia, healthcare, and the pharmaceutical industry.
The first meeting of Lumito’s Scientific Advisory Board will take place on Monday, 9 June 2025, and will focus on go-to-market strategies and applications within drug development.
“Establishing a Scientific Advisory Board is a strategically important step for Lumito. It provides us with access to unique expertise, experience, and an international network. I am very much looking forward to our first meeting on Monday and further discussions on direct applications of our solution in drug development. To accelerate our commercialisation journey, we have chosen to focus our first SAB meeting on strengthening and expanding the market presence of Scizys following its launch. In the future, I also see this advisory forum playing a key strategic role in identifying opportunities for clinical applications,” says Sanna Wallenborg, CEO of Lumito.
The SAB will contribute expertise in areas such as go-to-market strategy for new biomarkers, AI integration, and drug development. The combined experience and authority of the board members reinforce Lumito’s position within advanced tissue analysis and opens doors to senior decision-makers.
