Introducing The Data Pulse, featuring Anthony Philippakis (GV + Broad)

Welcome to The Data Pulse, a podcast that explores the growing role that data science and computation play in the latest biotechnology and biomedical innovations. Join me as I speak with pioneers in the space, to learn more about how they use data-driven tactics to advance biology and medicine, to understand the principles that guide their work, and to better equip yourself with the language and thinking essential to effectively contributing to this space.

I’m your host, Anika Gupta, a PhD student in Bioinformatics at Harvard and the Broad Institute. To introduce the podcast, I'm joined by Anthony Philippakis, Chief Data Officer of the Broad Institute and a Venture Partner at GV (formerly Google Ventures). We discuss his unique journey and roles, why this intersection is promising, and what the key ingredients for innovation in this space are.

To bring you each episode, I’ve been fortunate to tap into the wisdom of many of my mentors and peers who are trailblazing at this convergence. In addition to my conversations, I’ve created a glossary of terms, definitions, and links to references (bit.ly/datapulse-glossary) that my guests mention.
