Today's guest is Dr. Chris Bouton. Dr Bouton is the CEO of Vyasa Analytics, applying novel deep learning (ie A.I.) approaches for life sciences and healthcare clients.

"Deep learning algorithms are basically the reason that everyone is talking about AI right now."

In this episode we’ll also cover:

Why did Chris bootstrap instead of raising money when starting Entagen
