This is an interview with Matthew Osman and Fabio Boniolo, the co-founders of Polyphron. The thesis behind Polyphron is equal parts nauseating and exciting in how ambitious it is: growing ex-vivo tissue to use in organ repair. And, truthfully, it felt so ambitious as to not be possible at all. When I had my first (of several) pre-podcast chats with Matt and Fabio to understand what they were doing...

Note: Thank you to rush.cloud and latch.bio for sponsoring this episode! Rush is augmenting drug discovery for all scientists with machine-driven superintelligence. LatchBio is building agentic scientific tooling that can analyze a wide range of scientific data, with an early focus on spatial biology. Clip on them in the episode. If you’re at all interested in sponsoring future episodes, reach out...

Sponsor note: the supporter of this video is rush.cloud . If you are at all involved with doing preclinical drug discovery and would benefit from computational tools, you should check out their platform + beautiful website here: rush.cloud . If you’re at all interested in working together for future episodes, reach out! This is an interview with Hunter Davis , the CSO and co-founder (alongside Lau...

Sponsor note: I am extremely happy to announce my first commercial, service-oriented sponsor: rush.cloud . I’ve been doing these podcasts entirely through very kind philanthropic graces, which is very nice , but I’d ideally like to be helping someone when they sponsor me. And now I have that! So, if you are at all involved doing preclinical drug discovery and would benefit from computational tools...

This is an interview with Soham Sankaran , the founder and CEO of PopVax , an mRNA vaccine development startup. Curiously, PopVax is based in India, specifically Hyderabad. This should be a surprise to most people in the field: we never really hear of interesting biotech research being done in a place that isn’t [US, Europe, East Asia]. Yet, PopVax has been astonishingly successful, having a (in m...

In my first (real) podcast episode, I talk with Corin and Ari Wagen, two brothers who I met through my writing. They are building something super cool: a molecular simulation company called Rowan (which recently got i nto the Nat Friedman AI grant program ). We discuss neural network potentials (NNP’s), whether dynamics are useful at all, the role of computational chemistry in drug design, what th...
