#87, Modeling Integrated Human Physiology with Microfluidics with Andrei Georgescu from Vivodyne

Mendel enables life sciences to index patient journeys at scale and learn from them at the speed of real-time dialogues. The journey started in 2017 from a two-person office in Silicon Valley with commitment to building novel technology and not to be another “Boy Who Cried Wolf” AI company. To do that, we have invested 4 years and millions of dollars in R&D before launching our first model in 2020.
