Tuan Cao is the co-founder and CEO of Genetica and LIFE AI, biotech companies building AI-driven precision health for Asian populations. A Cornell-trained computer scientist who once redesigned Google's Ads reporting engine, he left a comfortable Silicon Valley career to decode genomes built for the nearly one billion people of East Asian descent that Western genetic tools serve poorly. His current venture, LIFE AI, is a Singapore-based foundational AI platform he calls the Intelligence Layer of Human Health, securing 15+ petabytes of genomic data on-chain and aiming to let people own and benefit from their own genetic data.
