Resia Pretorius, a distinguished physiologist at Stellenbosch University, researcher, full professor, and Head of the Department of Physiological Sciences in the Faculty of Science, is also the managing director and one of the founding directors of BioCODE, a spinout company of SU Enterprises. Resia believes the best entrepreneurial quality that
she brings to her BioCODE team is that she never gets distracted. “I always see the positive side of a difficult situation.
She is motivated by discovering new things in the lab that could positively impact a patient’s health.
If Resia had all the power in the world to fix one problem, she would choose access to early diagnosis and accessible healthcare for all.
Positivity, listening to experts before you who have walked the road and endurance to never give up are the three qualities, she believes any entrepreneur should have.
