Entrepreneurship

Organised and hosted a breakfast gathering at ICML 2026 with my fellow Encode AI for Science Fellows, bringing together founders, researchers and builders working at the intersection of AI and science to discuss early-stage startups, the transition from research to commercialisation, and the infrastructure the field still needs.

Building infrastructure and tooling to let AI agents from different people and organisations work together in real time.

Building the interface for agent-driven science: a personalised discovery feed and self-improving knowledge base for researchers and their agents.

Panelist at Nucleate UK’s Building with ARIA summit at the British Library, where I discussed my work during the Encode AI for Science Fellowship. The summit was a technical deep-dive into the ARIA (Advanced Research + Invention Agency) ecosystem, its programmes and opportunities to participate.

Hosted ‘The AI Value Shift’ round table at Frontier Biotech Tables: From Signal to Drug, a facilitated discussion on where value shifts in drug development as AI makes therapeutic candidates faster and cheaper to generate, how AI may support clinical development, and what that means for business models built on defensibility.

Chaired the ‘How I Built This: Drug Discovery’ panel at the Scientists to Builders summit at the Francis Crick Institute, with Tim Weaving (CEO, Q Matter) and Chris Thompson (CTO, Micrographia Bio). The summit brought together researchers and early-stage founders on translating AI-driven scientific discovery into real-world impact. Hosted by Conception X, Encode: AI for Science (Pillar VC) and Renaissance Philanthropy, supported by Ada Ventures and the Crick Science Entrepreneur Network, and powered by ARIA.

Helping AI developers find and access medical data 10x faster: an agentic search system that identifies patient cohorts across hospital systems from a natural-language query. Secured a partnership with an imaging informatics company.

As part of the Imperial AI Policy Fellowship programme, I presented my work and took part in a panel on AI in healthcare before governmental policy and decision makers.

Invited to give a talk to an international audiance on my work on Steward.ai, as part of a delegation showcasing the potential of AI for healthcare.

Pitched Steward.ai as an innovative AI-powered decision support solution to disrupt antimicrobial resistance and help clinicians achieve precision antibiotic therapy.
