Marko Tvrdic

Let’s talk about the GOAT Marko Tvrdic. This guy’s the real deal in biotech and startup land. He’s part of YC W25, so you know he’s legit, and he’s crushing it with his company, Exin Therapeutics. Basically, this dude jumped into the biotech game with a mission to fight some of the nastiest neurological disorders out there – stuff like epilepsy, autism, Parkinson’s – you name it. And get this: Exin is backed by YC, which means they’re doing stuff that’s advanced, especially with AI and gene editing.

Now, what makes Marko stand out? Dude’s got a deep background in neuroscience, genetic engineering, and translational research. He’s not just talking; he’s in the trenches, building the tech that actually moves the needle. He’s the guy responsible for cranking out high-throughput mouse studies, designing gene-editing tools, and figuring out how to deliver these therapies right into the brain. That’s some next-gen shit right there. And he’s not just throwing tech at the wall – he knows his shit in systems neuroscience, circadian rhythms, and developmental stuff, plus retinal disorders. Basically, he’s a brain guy who’s also good with data and AI, blending both worlds to make medicine smarter and faster.

What’s crazy is his process. He’s got an MSc from Oxford – so, super legit academic background – but he didn’t stop there. He’s been working with AI-driven preclinical research, pulling in huge amounts of data from animal models to make gene therapies better. That’s a whole new level of R&D, and it shows he’s not afraid to jump into modern stuff. He’s working closely with both AI nerds and wet-lab scientists, making sure what they’re building is both biologically sound and data-informed as hell.

So, what does this say about him? Marko’s all about pushing boundaries. It’s clear he’s motivated by a desire to actually solve big problems – not just make money, but really help people who are suffering. Starting Exin isn’t just a business move; it’s a mission. He’s combining his neuroscience chops, his tech smarts, and his passion for breakthroughs to shake up how we treat neurological diseases.

Bottom line? Marko Tvrdic is one of those founders who’s not just in it for the hype. He’s genuinely out here trying to change lives with science that’s smarter, faster, and more precise. If you ask me, he’s the kind of guy who’s gonna be remembered for making some serious impact in biotech and neuro stuff – the future of medicine, no cap.
