UI Choices and When Startups Should Outsource GUIs

Erum and Karl sit down with Vega Shah from NVIDIA to explore the role of AI in healthcare and life sciences, and how it's driving major advances in drug discovery and biotechnology. Vega shares real-world examples, from lab-grown cotton to using AI to discover new proteins in the gut microbiome. She also discusses the challenges of modeling complex biological systems and how tools like generative AI are changing the way we approach these problems. This episode is a look at how cutting-edge tech, with NVIDIA at the forefront, is making biology more accessible and impactful.
