Gaurav Kaushik, PhD
I seek clarity in complicated systems.
In 2019, I co-founded ScienceIO to teach machines the language of medicine. In 2024, ScienceIO was acquired by Veradigm, where we work to make sure AI systems impacting clinicians are safe, useful, and trustworthy.
I've spent my life distilling complex systems into meaningful signal. As a researcher, I've used insights from human biology to genetically engineer a fruit fly with double the normal lifespan, derived equations to detect cancer cells in tissue by touch, and confined uncertainty in entangled photons. At Seven Bridges, I translated those skills to build systems that enabled researchers to analyze petabytes of cancer data in hours, not weeks. At Foundation Medicine, I built the data and analytics platform that revealed how immunotherapies perform in the real world and guided new drugs to market.
I live in New York with my wife, our two kids, and a precocious cavapoo. My favorite meal is two slices of pizza on a paper plate, eaten on a park bench.
