Ep. 139: Biomarkers and personalized medicine | Mohit Jain | FUTURATI PODCAST

The podcast explores advancements in predictive health analytics through mass spectrometry with Dr. Mohit Jain, founder of Sapient. Dr. Jain details how his company measures thousands of small molecules in blood samples to provide a comprehensive view of an individual's health, diet, lifestyle, and potential disease risks, far beyond the scope of standard annual physicals. A key advancement is Sapient's technology, which speeds up mass spectrometry analysis by 500x, enabling the processing of vast quantities of samples to identify patterns indicative of future health issues like diabetes, heart disease, and Alzheimer's, often years before clinical diagnosis. Dr. Jain also addresses personalized medicine, emphasizing that understanding the differences in disease states among individuals is more critical than focusing on individual human differences, paving the way for more effective and targeted drug therapies.
