Team

There’s a lot of talk about the power of artificial intelligence and big data. A lot of talk, and a lot of promises.

Our team is grounded in experience and a track record of invention—realized. They have scaled technology businesses, fueled the adoption of new products among consumers, engaged people in their health online, and opened new markets by giving people information and tools to guide their health choices.

But our people are also grounded in the realities of what it means to push the bounds of science. They know biotech, omics, AI and data mining. They understand the complexity of molecular biology, what AI can and can’t do, and what it’s really like for people who live with and treat disease.

They’re not just talking about advancing the state of science. They’re focused on delivering real results for real people.
