Deniz Kavi is the co-founder and CEO of Tamarind Bio, a platform for computational drug discovery. Previously, Deniz conducted drug discovery research at the Stanford medical school while studying CS there. He was tasked with running tools like AlphaFold at large scale for members of his lab, and thought it would be easier to create a website for them to use the models. That website became Tamarind Bio. Today, Tamarind provides computational biology models for thousands of researchers, including many of the top 20 pharma, and dozens of biotechs. Deniz is passionate about helping biotechs and pharma leverage the latest in AI, and innovating in infrastructure for the life sciences.
