SLAS Scientific Manager Hannah Rosen, Ph.D., is joined by Karius Chief Technology Officer Sivan Bercovici, Ph.D., to discuss Karius' involvement in making the monumental pig-to-human heart transplant possible. Bercovici shares his expertise to shed light on the importance of understanding infectious diseases, and how Karius is using advanced machine learning algorithms to combat these diseases with the Karius Test™ – a liquid biopsy that can non-invasively and rapidly detect over 1000 pathogens causing both deep-seated and bloodstream infections from a single blood sample.
