The Node (SEC 2.203), 150 Western Ave, Boston, MA 02134, USA

The Lab-to-Launch Lounge (LLL) series brings former Harvard graduate students in CXO roles back to campus to hear how they launched their research out from Harvard labs. Grab a bite, join the discussion, meet like-minded peers, and leave with new ideas.

RSVP

Speakers:

Dr. Ahmed Kerwan graduated from the University of Oxford and King's College London with prizes and distinctions before starting as an NHS Academic Medical Doctor and Clinical Supervisor at the University of Cambridge where his research spanned Covid, surgery, and health economics. As a Frank Knox Fellow, he earned a MPH in Health Management from the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health. He is the founder and CEO of Taxo AI, a YC-backed healthcare automation company that recently raised $5 million in seed funding from investors including General Catalyst and Character. Taxo leverages its proprietary AI "reasoning engine" called Apex™ to automate time-consuming administrative tasks in healthcare so providers can focus on patient care rather than paperwork.

Dr. Collins Oghor earned his Doctor of Medicine, Master of Surgery, and MBA from McGill University before embarking on a MPH in Health Management from the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health. He is the CEO of Kauna (formerly Collogh Cares Inc.) which he founded after losing a loved one to kidney disease. The company's flagship NephroAI platform uses artificial intelligence to predict when patients will need dialysis years in advance. The platform also provides care management services that support kidney specialist clinics. His work spans global health initiatives with UNOPS and McKinsey's Africa Delivery Hub. As a 2023-2024 Cheng Fellow at the Harvard Kennedy School he is dedicated to expanding access to healthcare in Nigeria.
