Bio

A former academic turned life-sciences entrepreneur. I work with funding agencies and investors in an early-stage CTO-as-a-Service role. Since 2017, I have split my time between academia and the health-tech industry. A founder of two venture funded start-ups, one in pharma R&D the other delivering behavioural change therapy to patients, I am also a visiting researcher at the Berlin Institute of Health. I have mentored 30+ AI driven health-tech spin-outs from major institutions across Europe. I write about AI in Healthcare on my blog at http://digitizingbiology.com. And I have published multiple peer-reviewed guides to medical AI product development and best-practices. I am a mathematician and computer scientist with a PhD in Computational Neuroscience from the École Normale Supérieure (Paris). From June until November 2022, I was the inaugural head of the new global AI competence center, operated by German Entrepreneurship, funded by the German federal government. But you won't see it on my profile because I don't want the spam. The competence center is part of the published German national strategy for industry (the program for government) with a focus on enhancing the commercial competence of German startups who either use or develop Artificial Intelligence.
