Dr. Pande is a General Partner at Andreessen Horowitz, where he leads the firm’s investments focused on the cross section of biology and computer science including areas such as machine learning /compute in medicine (e.g., Freenome, Cardiogram, TwoXAR, BioAge), major game changing scientific advances (e.g., Apeel, Rigetti), and ways to fundamentally improve how health care is performed (e.g. Patient Ping, Q.bio, Omada Health).
A visionary leading the convergence of biology and computer science, Dr. Pande is the founder of the Folding@home Distributed Computing Project for disease research which pushes the boundaries of the development and application of computer science techniques (such as distributed systems, machine learning, and exotic computer architectures) into biology and medicine, in both fundamental research as well as the development of new therapeutics. In translating these advances, he has also been a founder and advisor to many startups in Silicon Valley.
