Machine learning holds significant promise for fields like proteomics, therapeutics, and more—but blockers like access to datasets and issues of health privacy make progress complicated. Alexander Johansen is a Ph.D. student in computer science studying the intersection between computer science, bioinformatics and digital health.
Within his lab at Stanford University, Alexander has applied Natural Language Processing to proteins, explored the history of wearables data privacy, and more. In this episode, SigOpt’s Head of Engineering Michael McCourt speaks with Alexander about his pioneering work and how SigOpt has played a role in advancing progress.
