Featured Founders
Tara Ghazi
Founder & CEO, Malcova
Malcova is developing a compression-free, multimodal breast imaging platform designed to improve early breast cancer detection—particularly for women with dense breast tissue, where traditional screening methods often face limitations. By reimagining the patient experience while advancing imaging capabilities, Malcova aims to make breast cancer screening more accessible, comfortable, and effective.
Gunho Kim
Founder & CEO, Tunable Biosystems
Tunable Biosystems is developing programmable, biodegradable polymer implants that enable physicians to precisely adjust tissue shape and tension after implantation using focused ultrasound. This non-invasive approach has the potential to transform reconstructive surgery and regenerative medicine by giving clinicians greater control without requiring additional surgeries.
