KSG alumni have gone on to found AI startups, lead teams at major tech and biotech companies, and advance precision medicine across the industry. Our former members are now at Google DeepMind, Amazon, Meta, AstraZeneca, Datadog, Foundation Medicine, Caris Life Sciences, Elucidate Bio, Mass General Brigham, and OncoLens — and several have founded their own companies, including Savvyn, GenHealth.ai, and SE4BIO.
Catherine Del Vecchio Fitz, PhD is the Founder & CEO of Savvyn (savvyn.ai) — built on a simple truth: strong science doesn't guarantee patient impact. The last mile is where breakthroughs stall. Savvyn is the evidence intelligence platform for life sciences: it ingests what a company has built, structures it against the requirements of each decision-maker (payers, regulators, clinicians, investors), and surfaces exactly where the evidence holds up, where it falls short, and what to prioritize next. She founded Savvyn after serving as SVP Medical Affairs & Data Insights at Naveris, and is based in Maine.
After working at KSG on MatchMiner Genomics, Ethan co-founded GenHealth.ai, a healthcare startup that helps provider organizations automate back-office workflows, including prior authorization, referral management, revenue cycle management, and eligibility verification. The company also conducts original research on healthcare cost and clinical trajectory prediction using a transformer-based medical model trained on over 50 million patient records. See their preprint on arXiv.
At KSG, Tommy led the bioinformatics effort for the NCI Cancer Immune Monitoring and Analysis Centers (CIMACs) and Cancer Immunologic Data Center (CIDC) Network, collaborating with clinical trial investigators to design and conduct biomarker and correlative studies in cancer immunotherapy trials. Tommy is now Director of Bioinformatics at AstraZeneca, where he leads bioinformatics efforts supporting drug development in early oncology.
