Yaroslav Faybishenko is a portfolio manager at a New York City-based investment firm and a co-founder of Pixie Scientific, a start-up that is developing disposable diapers that screen for infection and developing chronic conditions. “I always wondered whether I could put my computer science degree to analyze data and help clinicians from afar – making sure they see the right patients at the right time. An understanding of clinical significance has been indispensable in investing and continues to be my guiding principle while designing every-day products with built-in analytical features.”
