We’re excited to be back for another episode of the Life Sciences Today Podcast by Healthcare IT Today. My guest today is Yann Gaston-Mathé, Co-Founder and CEO at Iktos.

Trained as a mathematical engineer, Yann Gaston-Mathé crossed from numbers into biology, carrying a belief that drug discovery could be faster, smarter, and more humane. With Iktos, he’s bringing that vision to life — combining generative AI and robotics to redesign how medicines are designed, made, and tested, with the goal of delivering better therapies in less time.
