Welcome to episode 478 of the AI in Action podcast, the show where we break down the hype and explore the impact that Data Science, Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence are making on our everyday lives.

Powered by Alldus International, our goal is to share with you the insights of technologists and data science enthusiasts to showcase the excellent work that is being done within AI in North America and Europe.

Today’s guest is Aaron Arvey, Director of Machine Learning at Third Rock Ventures. Founded in 2007, Third Rock Ventures push the boundaries of science and technology to make a difference in the lives of patients and their families. By starting with big ideas and fostering collaboration among brilliant people with expertise in science, medicine, business and strategy, Third Rock set out to do more than fund startups, they aim to build sustainable, innovative companies that can transform the lives of patients.

Aaron’s role at Third Rock is to advance therapeutic and diagnostic R&D with focused hypothesis-driven machine learning. Aaron initially trained as a computer scientist and mathematician, working at the intersection of machine learning theory and algorithm implementation. However, it wasn’t until he happened upon molecular biology and the cellular microcosm that he found his passion. Since then, he has been in perpetual awe of the never-ending stream of high-impact scientific opportunities in biotech.
