Momo Vuyisich

Founder & Chief Science Officer, Viome

Momo is a scientist and entrepreneur whose motto is "the only way to predict the future is to build it". He wants to spend the rest of his life building a better World, where all people will be free of chronic diseases and cancer, have access to advanced education, and have an equal opportunity at a great quality of life. He also wants to create a peaceful World, where political leaders cannot create wars for their personal gain and send innocent people to their deaths.

Momo's PhD training in biochemistry enabled him to understand the human body as an ecosystem, whose complexity goes far beyond the human genes. As a government scientist at the prestigious Los Alamos National Laboratory, he led large international teams of brilliant scientists to develop the most advanced genomic technologies and apply them to a variety of applications, such as infectious diseases, cancer, toxicology, human physiology, microbiology, virology, etc. To make a global impact, Momo left his government job and co-founded Viome, where he now leads many complex product development and clinical research programs. His teams of scientists and technologists will enable Viome to make illness optional and create many other applications towards a healthier World.
