Senior🎓
Top SchoolChristopher Bun is a founder and principal focused on translating cutting‑edge ML/AI into regulated, clinical impact—driven by a PhD in computer science from the University of Chicago and 14 years of experience across biotech, legaltech, and healthcare. He builds high‑leverage teams and production‑grade systems that make science auditable and deployable in high‑stakes environments, from FDA‑constrained medical devices to oncology decision support. As an independent CTO and advisor he designs AI‑native operating models and agentic workflows that integrate human expertise, experimental data, and decision frameworks to reduce uncertainty in R&D. His research work includes co‑authoring the Generative AI Performance Score for assessing hallucination risk in clinical LLM use, reflecting a rare blend of academic rigor and pragmatic system design. Based in Chicago, he repeatedly bridges research translation and production engineering to move complex, messy operational knowledge into reliable software and policy.
