AI As A Catalyst For Innovation In Healthcare: Part One

In this special two-part episode of Few & Far Between, host Chris O’Brien sits down with Yochi Slonim, Co-Founder and CEO of Anima Biotech, to explore the fascinating intersection of AI, software, and biology. In this episode, Slonim shares his unconventional journey from debugging software to decoding disease at the cellular level. The conversation dives into how Anima’s AI platform “thinks, sees, and learns biology,” opening new pathways for understanding disease mechanisms. Along the way, Chris and Yochi discuss the surprising parallels between software errors and cellular dysfunction, the promise of neural networks, and why a sense of curiosity—sometimes sparked by the word “cool”—can drive breakthrough innovation.

Tune in to hear how a background in tech evolved into a vision for transforming clinical science, and stay tuned for Part Two, where the discussion continues.
