Bringing that perspective onto our executive team reflects the partnership we want with the life sciences community,” CEO Rangadass said in a statement.
Veeraraghavan said he joined the company to help bridge the gap between AI models and real-world scientific applications.
"I have spent more than two decades digitizing workflows and embedding AI inside regulated science to accelerate operational efficiencies, and I have seen how often good work stalls in the gap between a promising model and a deployable workflow," said Veeraraghavan.
