Introduction

Joining us today in The Deep End is Viswa Colluru, the CEO & Founder of Enveda Biosciences. Enveda has raised $175M in their quest to translate nature into medicine. Before founding Enveda, Viswa obtained a PhD in cellular and molecular biology, and started his career as a product manager at Recursion Pharmaceuticals. As our first guest in this series focusing on longevity and health, we speak to Viswa on why nature holds the great untapped potential for new drug discovery, why most drugs don’t work in human trials and what role artificial intelligence will play in unlocking biological and chemical data. We hope this conversation will give you a deep insight into nuances of the pharmaceutical industry, what the future holds for drug discovery and his advice for founders interested in this space.
