Case Study
Equinome (2009)
Equinome was co-founded by Professor Emmeline Hill and Jim Bolger to commercialize research that identified the ‘Speed Gene’ in Thoroughbred horses. The company, headquartered at NovaUCD, developed genomic tests to enhance Thoroughbred performance. Their product offerings, including the Equinome Speed Gene Test and Equinome Elite Performance Test, revolutionized breeding practices in the Thoroughbred horse racing industry. The company expanded globally, significantly impacting breeding techniques in this multi-billion-euro industry.
