Integumen's Rinocloud subsidiary wins "One To Watch" IT award

Rinocloud, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Integumen, has won the TechLeaders19 IT award, sponsored by KPMG in the "One To Watch" category, at the Gala dinner in Cork, Ireland on Friday the 18th of October. 

The Tech Leaders awards, which are in their 13th year, shine a light on those people who are leading the charge for the technology community and paving the way for the continued success of the technology sector in Ireland.

Fin Murray MD of Rinocloud and Executive Director of Integumen commented:

"We are so honoured to have received this IT Leadership award in recognition of the Rinocloud team's creation of a disruptive drug discovery process for skin diseases such as psoriasis, eczema, acne and dandruff.

We wouldn't have been able to do it without the support from partner scientific research institutes APC Microbiome at the University College Cork, and the Centre for Advanced Photonics & Process Analysis at the Cork Institute of Technology, with state support from Enterprise Ireland who was an early investor in Rinocloud. We look forward to using our Rinocloud technology platform to help our clients advance their work in developing superior skin products and treatments."
