Gaurav Kaushik is the co-founder of ScienceIO, a healthcare AI company acquired by Veradigm in 2024, where he now leads the applied AI team. Trained as a physicist and bioengineer, he's genetically engineered a fruit fly to have twice the normal lifespan, developed equations to detect cancer cells by touch, and used lasers to test the limits of quantum mechanics.
