Living in N.Y. city to moving in with your parents in the midwest can change life’s perspectives during this readjustment time due to Covid. It’s interesting how each of us has a different method of pivoting and moving forward. I had a wonderful conversation with Dr. Neel Madhukar, CEO of OneThreeBio, not only on his successes so far but where he’s going in the future and why.
Dr. Madhukar earned his Ph.D. from Cornell University designing new machine learning approaches that are better suited for biological problems. While at Cornell, he authored numerous scientific publications in the fields of machine learning, pharmacology, and precision medicine. His work has led to the development of new AI prediction methods, the discovery of a novel class of cancer therapeutics, and the start of new clinical trials.
He then went on to complete his postdoctoral studies at Cornell Tech’s Runway Postdoc program where he started his company. He is an awardee of the PHARMA informatics fellowship and was listed as one of the top 100 AI Leaders in Drug Discovery and Advanced Healthcare.
Dr. Madhukar’s company uses AI and computers to find why cancer is the way it is and using that information to find new treatments.
Our very philosophical conversation covered topics including:
Thoughts on being back “home,” the joy of board games and his being a big fan of satellite soccer.
His time in Pre-Med studies, but how it lacked the science and math that he loved.
The influence of his grandfather’s battle with cancer and the journey of clinical trials.
The challenges of developing a new drug, the time and cost to bring it to market.
A conversation on how genetics were being analyzed led him to use the mix of mathematics, computer science, and biology.
How scientists can use computers and AI leading to better drug discovery and precision medicine.
Biotech entrepreneurship, precision medicine, new methods of partnering, and incubator benefits.
Our conversation continued with great insights on how Dr. Madhukar looks at being an entrepreneur, reflecting on his graduate work and the moments of pivoting and persevering. We even discussed the history and benefits of masterminding!
