Founder leading Aetas, suPAR platform strategy, R&D direction, partnerships, and the member experience

About

Thomas Hargreave is the founder and CEO of Aetas Diagnostics. Before healthcare, he spent two decades in fashion and media, moving from modeling into production work through Six Agency and Stage7, board roles tied to Danish fashion, and international shoots connected to names such as Mario Testino and Louis Vuitton. His shift toward precision medicine followed his father's 2017 hospitalization at Rigshospitalet, where he spent months close to the clinical process and medical literature. Aetas launched in 2020, with Hargreave now leading CEO work, R&D direction, partnerships, and the wider Aetas group.

What to Know

Signature approach

Hargreave's role is company-building: strategy, R&D direction, partnerships, and member experience. He works with in-house researchers on the suPAR® roadmap, at-home collection, multi-cancer early detection, and neurodegeneration biomarker work, while clinical decisions stay with Henrik Nistrup, MD and the physician team.

What sets them apart

  • Second-act founder. Hargreave brings a fashion, media, and production background into a precision medicine company, which shows up in Aetas's brand, clinic experience, and member-facing polish.
  • Platform ownership. Through the Aetas group, he is building around suPAR testing, Aetas Labs, Aetas Healthcare, and international clinic relationships.
  • Longevity network. Public materials connect him with longevity figures including Jordan Shlain, MD, Eric Verdin, and researchers gathered around the ARDD conference in Copenhagen.
