Dr. Elsa Zekeng | Scientist. Entrepreneur. Rule-breaker. She is the architect of a more precise, data-driven future for the life sciences. As the founder of SökerData, she is dismantling the industry’s "one-size-fits-all" model by capturing high-fidelity health datasets from women and global majority populations groups long overlooked by traditional R&D. From receiving a medal from Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II for her front-line work in infectious disease to scaling a Techstars-backed venture, Elsa blends world-class scientific rigour with market-leading innovation. She is proving that inclusive, representative data is not just a moral goal, but a commercial, clinical and regulatory imperative for the next generation of drug discovery. By bridging these critical gaps, Elsa is rewriting the blueprint for precision medicine and ensuring the global life sciences industry is built for the whole world.
