Katharina Volz is using A.I. to solve the biggest problem in science

Katharina Volz is applying machine learning to finding and developing cures for brain-aging diseases, one of science's biggest conundrums. Born in Ulm, Germany (the birthplace of fellow scientist Albert Einstein), Volz was the first-ever Ph.D. in stem cell biology and regenerative medicine at Stanford University. Entrepreneurship did not come easily to Volz, a trained scientist. But a dogged passion for unearthing a cure for brain-aging disease is what pushed her to persevere. As the founder and CEO of OccamzRazor, a biotechnology firm, she's set out to treat a disease that hit close to home.
