Hi, I’m Ali Madani!

I am a researcher and founder at the intersection of AI and Biology. I currently serve as the CEO of Profluent where we are decoding the language of life with LLMs. I care deeply about understanding nature to cure disease. Previously, I was the architect of the ProGen moonshot at Salesforce AI Research. I completed my PhD at UC Berkeley and love building startups, with prior experience as a founder and early employee. I have led work accepted in Nature, NeurIPS, ICLR, and Cell family journals which also has been covered by the NYTimes, WSJ, Fortune, TechCrunch, Forbes, BBC, Endpoints, and Axios. Feel free to contact me at ali[at]madani.ai.
