Axial partners with great founders and inventors. We invest in early-stage life sciences companies such as Appia Bio, Seranova Bio, Delix Therapeutics, Simcha Therapeutics, among others often when they are no more than an idea. We are fanatical about helping the rare inventor who is compelled to build their own enduring business. If you or someone you know has a great idea or company in life sciences, Axial would be excited to get to know you and possibly invest in your vision and company .

Melih Yilmaz is a PhD student at the University of Washington. Where he focuses on computational biology and develop machine learning tools. Advised by William Noble and Sewoong Oh, Melih’s current research interests are around proteomics, particularly building deep learning methods to analyze mass spectrometry data.
We start off the conversation talking about his journey to biology and consequently the United States. Around 2016–2017, deep learning had began to gain pace, drawing Melih in. Around the same time, peers of his were going to the US. Slightly influencing Melih to land a research internship at Stanford with Tina Hernandez in the biomedical informatics department.
He then entered a PhD program at Washington after several other internships. We go into various experiences of Melih’s as an engineer in biology. Expanding on his work in protein sequencing.
