01 — FOCUS
Three ways into the same problem
GenAI for Health Systems
Product and engineering for AI on clinical data — patient safety narratives from structured data, LLM eval infrastructure, and governance that keeps genAI honest in regulated settings.
Qualified Health · Rigel Pharmaceuticals · PwC
Bench-to-Data Biology
Cancer drug screening with patient-derived organoids, scRNA-seq pipelines, and ML models on real patient datasets — where the biology meets the data.
Innovative Genomics Institute · UCSF · Stanford
Biotech Strategy & Investing
Due diligence on pharma acquisitions, biotech equity research across drug cycles, and matching health-tech startups with the right investors.
