Summary
Rishi Bedi is a biotech and AI entrepreneur with 12 years of experience building computational and wet-lab platforms that translate into clinic-ready therapeutics. As CEO of Y-Trap he leads development of multifunctional fusion proteins for cancer immunotherapy, while consulting on broad-spectrum vaccine programs at Centivax. His background blends hands-on antibody engineering and repertoire algorithms at Distributed Bio with leadership in AI-driven phenotypic screening at Herophilus, a platform later acquired by Genentech. A Stanford-trained computer scientist, he co-founded TreeHacks, Stanford’s flagship intercollegiate hackathon, showing a knack for community-building alongside deep technical work. Based in Menlo Park, he bridges machine learning, protein engineering, and translational development—often applying computational insights to accelerate biological discovery. Notably, his career threads both startup founding and strategic roles that repeatedly move platforms toward acquisition or clinical translation.
