Amine Raji, The Google Backed Founder Reinventing Bacteria Detection

​The Yale Table is hosting Amine Raji, Co-founder and CEO of Spore.bio, a deeptech company doing something that sounds almost too good to be true, detecting bacterial contamination in real time. For over a century, microbiology labs have relied on the same slow, cumbersome testing methods. Amine and his team are blowing that up by fusing AI, hardware, and biology into a platform that makes bacterial testing faster, more reliable, and scalable across food, pharma, and cosmetics.

​The momentum speaks for itself: a $23M Series A, ~$31M in total funding, and a spot in Google's AI for Science initiative. The Yale Table is thrilled to bring Amine to New Haven for what promises to be a fascinating conversation about building at the frontier of science, where the stakes are as high as it gets and the science is genuinely cool.

​10 seats available.

​Selected students will be expected to cover the cost of dinner.
