About Us

FindExpertMD is an online big data resource to quickly find the top published experts, both MDs and scientists, in specific diseases, medical procedures, and surgeries. It is designed by BioInfi, a developer of cutting edge AI tools in the life science space that enable organizations to achieve their scientific mission. BioInfi is led by Dr. Pankaj Agarwal, a computational biologist with 23 years of experience leading teams within the pharmaceutical industry to design and build innovative applications to discover and develop new medicines. Dr. Agarwal has published in top journals on the use of literature to discover innovation, find targets, repurpose medicines, and find experts. Dr. Agarwal serves as a consultant to the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, and a scientific advisor to BioAge and the PhRMA Foundation. He is a founder and a senior member of the International Society for Computational Biology (ISCB).
