Today we’re excited to have Dr. Mo Jain, CEO of Sapient. Dr. Jain or Mo as he prefers to be called is a physician-scientist with nearly 20 years of expertise in physiology, biomedicine, engineering, computational biology, and mass spectrometry-based metabolomics. Sapient is one of the largest capacity biomarker discovery labs in the world and well on its way to transform biomedicine forever. For all of our science and bio nerds, you'll sure be fascinated by the insights from Mo.

About Mo Jain - Dr. Jain is a physician-scientist with nearly 20 years of expertise in physiology, biomedicine, engineering, computational biology, and mass spectrometry-based metabolomics. Prior to founding Sapient, he formed and was director of Jain Laboratory at the University of California San Diego (UCSD). There he led a multi-disciplinary research team of chemists, engineers, mathematicians, epidemiologists, and physicians to develop next-generation rapid liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (rLC-MS) systems to probe the non-genetic landscape of disease across population-scale human studies. His work was supported by the National Institutes of Health Outstanding New Environmental Scientist (ONES) Program grant and over $30M in federal, foundation, and industry funding. Dr. Jain founded Sapient in 2021 as a spinout of Jain Laboratory to expand upon the mission of accelerating human discovery and drug development through the nexus of high throughput analytical mass spectrometry, computational biology, and population-scale clinical studies. As CEO, he develops and directs the organization’s strategy and guides Sapient’s scientific, business, and technical operations. 

Dr. Jain has held faculty positions at UCSD since 2013, most currently as a Professor of Medicine and Pharmacology. He obtained his MD and PhD from Boston University School of Medicine, and subsequently performed clinical residency and fellowship training in Internal Medicine, Cardiology, and Preventative Cardiology at Brigham and Women’s Hospital, Harvard Medical School. His postdoctoral work was performed at the Broad Institute and Massachusetts General Hospital in the HHMI laboratory, developing methods for large scale, mass spectrometry-based metabolomics and integrative computational analysis to define the role of bioactive metabolites in human disease.
