Mark Kokoris
Head of SBX Technology at Roche Diagnostics

With nearly 30 years of experience working on the cutting edge of biotechnology, Mark’s passion is to conceive and develop innovative and transformative technologies. His vision of creating a next generation DNA sequencing technology that would enable broader use in healthcare led him to co-invent the SBX technology in 2007. The same year, he co-founded Stratos Genomics, where he held roles as president and Chief Science Officer then later as CEO. In 2020, he led Stratos through the company’s acquisition by Roche, where the SBX chemistry could be brought together with Genia’s massively parallel IC technology. Mark, who heads all SBX research at Roche, is an inventor on over 20 issued US patents.
