Two PhDs on a Pod

Two PhDs on a Pod is where cutting-edge science meets real-world health. Hosted by Momo Vuyisich, PhD (Founding CSO of Viome) and Guru Banavar, PhD (Founding CTO of Viome), the podcast explores the intersection of biology, artificial intelligence, and personalized nutrition. Together, they break down the complex science behind how our bodies actually work—and what that means for living longer, healthier lives. Momo, a systems biologist, has focused on the biochemistry of the human body and the trillions of microbes that live within us. Guru, an AI and data science expert, develops computational systems that make sense of massive biological datasets. Together, they bring two complementary perspectives required to understand and translate the complexity of human biology and how it impacts health. Each episode will explain in simple terms the dynamic biology that makes each of us unique, and provide practical advice on how to apply these insights in daily life.
