Aishu is an Analyst with the Sofinnova Digital Medicine Strategy. She joined us in 2023 after completing a stint as a full-time Investment Fellow at BioGeneration Ventures.

Her ten-year academic career weaved together neuroscience, engineering, and computation across Asia, Europe, and the U.S. Aishu says her transition into venture capital was "sparked by a genuine eagerness to learn about and support advancements at the confluence of scientific exploration and computation."

Aishu holds a PhD from the National University of Singapore, and an MS in Electrical and Computer Engineering and Computational Neuroscience from the University of Florida.

Her PhD work was published in journals including Nature Neuroscience and Nature Communications. Other fellowships she was awarded include Horizon 2020's Marie Curie Fellowship and a full-time fellowship at the Netherlands Institute for Neuroscience, where she studied the activity of neurons in the prefrontal cortex, using machine learning and AI to understand how rodent neurons work together to arrive at a decision using environmental cues.
