# Bridging the Gap: Bioptimus CEO Jean-Philippe Vert on Building the Foundational AI for Biology
## March 26, 2026
### **Bioptimus featured on the *Empowered Patient Podcast***
Our Co-Founder and CEO, Jean-Philippe Vert, sat down with Karen Jagoda to discuss how Bioptimus is moving beyond the "siloed" nature of traditional biomedical research. In this deep-dive episode, Jean-Philippe explains why understanding biology across all scales—from molecules to organs—is the key to unlocking the next generation of precision medicine.
### A few highlights from the conversation:
- **The Problem of Silos:** Historically, research has focused on specific layers, like genomics *or* cellular biology. Jean-Philippe discusses how Bioptimus is building an AI infrastructure that connects these dots to create a truly holistic view of human biology.
- **H-Optimus in Action:** A look at our foundation model for histopathology, which helps pathologists analyze biopsies with unprecedented detail by learning from billions of images.
- **The Future of Clinical Trials:** How "digital twins" and synthetic control arms can simulate treatment outcomes, lowering the cost of drug development and accelerating breakthroughs for rare diseases.
- **Closing the Translational Gap:** Why a unified AI model is the essential tool for moving discoveries from the lab to the patient more efficiently.
> *"What we are building at Bioptimus is an AI-intelligent system that can see across all these layers to get a holistic picture of biology. It’s not only a scientific endeavor; it’s about solving why so many diseases remain untreated today."* — **Jean-Philippe Vert**
