Physician and founder

Logan Nye, MD Medicine ∧ Machine Intelligence

I’m a physician and founder based in San Francisco, building new AI systems to help us understand and treat disease. I grew up on a cattle farm in Ohio, trained in medicine, and went to Carnegie Mellon to study computing.

Now

Building a new company in stealth in programmable biomedicine.

Blue-collar roots

Growing up on a cattle farm meant feeding animals, repairing machinery, and helping neighbors. Farm work and timber-frame construction taught me to work with my hands and stay with a problem.

My mother’s work as a nurse practitioner showed me how practical skill could help people. I decided early that I wanted to become a doctor.

Learning to build

During medical school, I started making and selling hardwood furniture to pay for my pet’s surgery. That became my first business, and I found I enjoyed running it.

A research project required the same measurements on thousands of X-rays. I taught myself machine learning and built a program to automate that work. During medical training, I’d also met patients who lived far from specialist care. I began to see how software could make medical expertise more widely available.

The longer story

What I’m building now

I became interested in using AI to study disease itself, as well as to support medical care. I’m now building a company to turn that research into tools for developing better treatments.

I care about testing ideas carefully, being honest about what the evidence shows, and staying with difficult problems when solving them would help people.

Let’s talk.
