Axial partners with great founders and inventors. We invest in early-stage life sciences companies such as Appia Bio, Seranova Bio, Delix Therapeutics, Simcha Therapeutics, among others often when they are no more than an idea. We are fanatical about helping the rare inventor who is compelled to build their own enduring business. If you or someone you know has a great idea or company in life sciences, Axial would be excited to get to know you and possibly invest in your vision and company . We are excited to be in business with you - email us at   info@axialvc.com

Rishi Bedi⁠ is the Co-Founder and CEO of Y-Trap a biotech company developing multifunctional fusion proteins for cancer immunotherapy. We discuss the founding story of Y-Trap, the current status of protein engineering and computational biology, along with his career leading up to Y-Trap. Rishi's experience spans machine learning, immuno-oncology, and drug development.

Previously, Rishi built the machine learning team at Herophilus (fka System1 Biosciences), leading the analysis of multi-omics and imaging datasets to identify deep phenotypes of neuropsychiatric diseases in cerebral organoids. Before that, he studied computer science at Stanford, where he developed machine learning methods for structural biology in Ron Dror's group.
