Building Global Tech from Europe: The VC Playbook
Last Wednesday at 9:00 PM

What does it take to turn a two-person startup in Paris into a $6.8 billion exit, and then do it all over again for 200 other founders?

In this episode of Decoded, Dr. Jurgi Camblong speaks with Bernard Liautaud, co-founder of BusinessObjects and Managing Partner at Balderton Capital, one of Europe's leading venture capital firms backing category-defining companies like Revolut, Wayve, and Quantum Systems.

Bernard didn't just build a company. He built a category. Starting with two people in Paris in 1990, he helped define what business intelligence could be, took the company to NASDAQ, and sold it...


How to Accelerate the Future of Oncology with Keith Flaherty, President of the AACR
04/09/2026

What happens when a world-class biologist decides that academic research isn't moving fast enough for patients? 

Dr. Keith Flaherty is a physician, scientist, and founder who obsesses over the "wiring of cells". As the Director of Clinical Research at the Mass General Hospital Cancer Center and a Professor of Medicine at Harvard Medical School, he has authored over 300 peer-reviewed research publications. But he didn't stop at academia. He went on to co-found Loxo Oncology and Scorpion Therapeutics, driving billions in acquisitions and fundamentally changing precision cancer care. 

In this episode, Keith joins Dr. Jurgi Camblong to...


From Mars Rovers to Medicine: The AI Revolution with Thomas Fuchs, Chief AI Officer, Eli Lilly
03/10/2026

What happens when the mind behind the Mars Rovers turns its attention to fighting cancer and developing next-generation medicines?
Today, Thomas Fuchs is the Chief AI Officer at Eli Lilly & Company, but he started his career at NASA, building the AI that helped rovers navigate the surface of Mars. He soon realized that the same math used to distinguish sand from rocks could be used to identify cancer cells on a pathology slide. He transitioned to healthcare, coined the term "computational pathology", and secured the first-ever FDA approval for an AI solution in cancer pathology after founding Paige...


The Tumor Hacker: How Data & AI Are Rewriting the Future of Oncology
02/10/2026

Most doctors look at a tumor and see a disease. Professor Olivier Michielin sees a code waiting to be cracked. 

Starting his career in physics and training under Nobel Prize winner Martin Karplus, Olivier realized early on that he "would not be happy just talking to electrons". He pivoted to medicine to bring a data-driven, engineering mindset to oncology. Today, he is rewriting the rules of how we treat melanoma and other complex cancers by combining immunotherapy with advanced algorithms. 

In this episode, the "Tumor Hacker" joins Dr. Jurgi Camblong to discuss how he is us...


Decoding Human Health: Stanford’s Michael Snyder on Aging, AI, and the Next Era of Precision Care
01/19/2026

Are we practicing healthcare, or just "sick care"?

In this episode of Decoded, Jurgi Camblong sits down with Dr. Michael Snyder, Chair of Genetics at Stanford Medicine and one of the most cited scientists in the world, to challenge the status quo of modern medicine.

We monitor our cars with dashboards to prevent breakdowns, yet we wait until our bodies fail before seeking help. Dr. Snyder explains why the future of medicine isn't about treating illness—it's about predicting it.

In this episode, we cover:

The "Sick Care" Crisis: Why our cu...


The Genetics of Longevity
12/09/2025

Longevity is not luck. It is biology, variation, and human resilience expressed across generations - and we are only beginning to understand it. And few people have studied longevity more deeply than Professor Mayana Zatz, whose work with centenarians and supercentenarians is reshaping what we know about aging.

In this episode of Decoded, Dr. Jurgi Camblong speaks with one of the world’s leading geneticists and a pioneer in rare diseases, aging, and human longevity.

Based at the University of SĂŁo Paulo, Mayana has followed more than 100,000 families to understand why some people develop sev...


The DNA of Discovery
11/07/2025

In this episode, Dr. Jurgi Camblong travels to the University of Oxford to meet Professor Nicholas Proudfoot, one of the true pioneers of molecular biology. 

For more than five decades, Nick has helped decode life itself, revealing how genes are turned on and off, how RNA carries meaning beyond proteins, and how curiosity can drive discoveries that last a lifetime. 

Together, they revisit the early days of modern biology - a time before PCR or cloning - and trace how one generation of scientists transformed trial and error into the precision science we know today. 


AI Adoption at Scale: Real-World Impact in Healthcare
10/14/2025

A Conversation with Parminder Bhatia, Chief AI Officer, GE HealthCare

After three episodes with leaders in oncology and medicine - Prof. Malapelle (International Society of Liquid Biopsy), Dr. David Rhew (Microsoft), and Dr. Pedram Razavi (MSK), Jurgi turns to the question everyone’s asking:

How do we move from impressive demos to real impact at the bedside—at scale?

In this episode, Dr. Jurgi Camblong, Founder SOPHiA GENETICS, speaks with Parminder “Parry” Bhatia, Chief AI Officer at GE HealthCare, to unpack the hard parts of AI in medicine: earning clinical trust, fitting...


Rethinking Cancer Through AI and Precision Medicine with Dr. Pedram Razavi, Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center
09/22/2025

Cancer has been described for a long time, yet only now are we beginning to truly decode it.

In this episode of Decoded, Dr. Jurgi Camblong, Founder of SOPHiA GENETICS, speaks with Dr. Pedram Razavi, Director of Liquid Biopsy and Cancer Genomics at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center.
