We’re excited to be back for another episode of the Life Sciences Today Podcast by Healthcare IT Today. My guest today is Yann Gaston-Mathé, Co-Founder and CEO at Iktos.

Iktos combines AI drug discovery with a robot chemist – AI designs novel compounds considering synthesis constraints, and robots automatically synthesize compounds (100 reactions in parallel vs 2 manual).

Trained as a mathematical engineer, Yann Gaston-Mathé crossed from numbers into biology, carrying a belief that drug discovery could be faster, smarter, and more humane. With Iktos, he’s bringing that vision to life — combining generative AI and robotics to redesign how medicines are designed, made, and tested, with the goal of delivering better therapies in less time.

Check out the main topics of discussion for this episode of the Life Sciences Today podcast:

• Tell me about your journey.
• Tell me about Iktos.
• Who are your customers?
• How do you create value?
• How do you capture value from customers?
• What are 3 things you want to do for your customers in the next 12-18 months?

Now, without further ado, we’re excited to share with you the next episode of the Life Sciences Today podcast.
