About Pangaea Data

Pangaea Data (Pangaea) is a South San Francisco and London based business founded by Dr Vibhor Gupta and Prof Yike Guo (Director Data Science Institute at Imperial College London; Provost, Hong Kong University of Science and Technology). They have worked in medicine and computing for over 20 years and have raised over $300 million through their academic research, including a $110 million grant focused on development work on large language models in medicine. Pangaea’s AI platform, PALLUX, is configured on clinical guidelines to find more untreated (undiagnosed, miscoded, at-risk) and under-treated patients with hard-to-diagnose conditions for screening and treatment at the point of care. Pangaea’s advisors include industry veterans from healthcare and the life sciences, including Lord David Prior (former chairman, NHS England) and Mr. Andy Palmer (former CIO, Novartis).
