Speaker Profile
Ph.D., CEO, Benthic Genomics
Biography
Solomon Endlich is a physicist making waves in biotechnology. He spun Base5 Genomics out of his postdoctoral work on genome sequencing in the Morrison lab at Stanford University. He has over 10 years of research experience in theoretical physics and molecular biology. Solomon is passionate about solving challenging issues that have the power to propel us into the next era of precision medicine. When he isn't in the lab you can find him climbing in Yosemite, scuba diving in Monterey, or chasing his deaf rescue dog Silas around Palo Alto.

Scalable immunogenomic data to unlock immunogenomic insights
Benthic Genomics' breakthrough technology reveals the full complexity of immunogenomic regions such as HLA and KIR for precision medicine to finally unlock disease risk prediction, drug reaction screening, and laying the foundation for paradigm shifting personalized treatments and better patient outcomes.
Genomic Profiling Showcase:
Benthic Genomics
Benthic Genomics is an early stage startup that spun out of Stanford to develop its breakthrough technology for genomic insights - initially focused on the immune system - with the aim of leading precision genomics into a new era.
Session Abstract – PMWC 2026 Silicon Valley
The PMWC 2026 Genomic Profiling Showcase will provide a 15-30 min speaking opportunity for selected companies working with the latest technologies in nucleic acid sequencing such as NGS, providing instrumentation for genomic sequencing, and offering direct to consumer services. These companies will share their innovative products and services to an audience of leading investors, potential clients and partners. The Genomic Profiling Showcase will exhibit the latest innovations in methods and instruments used for DNA/ RNA sequencing to ascertain the genomic and transcriptional profile of a person in order to understand why some people get certain diseases while others do not, or why people react in different ways to the same drug. This information is also being used to develop new ways to diagnose, treat, and prevent diseases, such as cancer.
