We’re excited to be back for another episode of the Life Sciences Today Podcast by Healthcare IT Today. My guest today is Engy Ziedan, Co-Founder and CSO of Protege. In this episode, I sit down with Ziedan to talk about how AI models are beginning to influence care while still being judged largely by static tests that can be sensitive to prompting, contaminated by training data, or disconnected from the environments where they’ll actually be used.
We talk about her personal journey, Protege’s value creation, value capture, and moat. We also talk about the biggest anti-pattern in her industry.
Check out the main topics of discussion for this episode of the Life Sciences Today podcast:
- Tell us all about your journey to where you are today as Chief Science Officer at Protege.
