Mark Punyanitya
Mark Punyanitya is a New York biomedical engineer turned founder who spent more than fifteen years measuring the human body one MRI slice at a time, then set out to make that kind of imaging cheap and portable enough to put in the back of a truck. As Co-Founder, President and CEO of PhenoMx, Inc. and founder of the Image Reading Center, he turns advanced scanning into quantitative imaging biomarkers for global clinical trials and a 'digital physical exam' for precision medicine and longevity. With 44-plus published papers behind him, he is trying to liberate medical imaging from the basements of academic hospitals and disperse it anywhere, anytime.
