How well do we really understand the body? For decades, surgeons have relied on static scans and flat 2D models to plan procedures. Gilly Yildirim believes it’s time to expand our view to more dimensions. As founder and CEO of Vent Creativity, he is bringing together point clouds, digital twins, and physics-based AI to capture movement with a level of precision that static imaging is far from. In conversation with Jenny Chen, Gilly Yildirim describes how his team built a platform that sees t...
Microfluidics has long promised to reshape diagnostics, drug discovery, and laboratory science. Microfluidics is about manipulating how tiny amounts of liquid move through channels no wider than a human hair; a "lab on a chip" diagnostic. Now imagine being able to 3D print those channels instead of painstakingly etching them. Paul Marshall, CEO of Rapid Fluidics, is working to improve the norm by applying additive manufacturing to the design and production of microfluidic systems. In this epi...
