Our CEO, Kandaswamy (Swamy) Vijayan recently joined a podcast Bio_Unlock hosted by BlueYard Capital , alongside Elliot Hershberg , author of the popular newsletter "Century of Biology". Swamy discussed his interdisciplinary approach that merges biology, chemistry, and engineering to understand and manipulate cell states. By miniaturizing experiments and screening at ultra-high throughput, Zafrens is challenging traditional drug discovery methods, enabling the study of thousands of cells simultaneously. Elliot shared insights into the evolution of biotech towards "tech bio," emphasizing the importance of engineering disciplines in revolutionizing biological research. They discussed the transformative potential of AI and machine learning in analyzing vast datasets and guiding experimental design. Thanks to Elliot, Anastasia, and BlueYard Capital for the insightful discussion! 🎙️ #Immunotherapy #Innovation #startup Direct link here: https://lnkd.in/dXmDRds6
