1992
Founded by. 1992: James M. Wilson founded Genovo.
He denied in 1999 that money drove his research and said the financial relationship was fully explained on the consent form.
Owners. James M. Wilson owns a stake in Genovo.
A Harvard course case study, citing Robert Steinbrook (2008) and the Wall Street Journal of 10 August 2000, says Wilson and his family held 30 percent, non-voting. We could not open either source. A 2017 scholarly article says only that he was allowed to control up to 30 percent of the stock. No relative is named in any source we read.
The University of Pennsylvania owns a stake in Genovo.
A scholarly article says that in 1995 Penn waived part of its conflict-of-interest guidelines, which had given Genovo exclusive rights to license patents from Wilson’s lab. A Harvard course case study says Penn’s conflict committee reviewed his ties in 1994 and did not seek to end them. Penn denied that money played any part in the trial.
