Season 2 Episode 9: Marissa Renardy
… where we talk: Big pharma, In silico trials, and Sciencing for fun.
Marissa earned a PhD in Mathematics from The Ohio State University in 2018. She was then a postdoctoral research fellow at University of Michigan until 2021, when she joined Applied BioMath as a full time QSP modeler, then GSK in July 2024.
She does applied work with her mathematician parents’ full approval.

Season 2 Episode 7: Mohit Kumar Jolly
… where we talk changing cancer cells, awards and the Indian Institutes of Technology.
Mohit leads an interdisciplinary research team working on elucidating the dynamics of metastasis and drug resistance, through developing multi-scale mathematical models in close collaboration with experimental and clinical colleagues.
He and his group do this work powered by many cups of chai.
