About Us

With over 130 peer-reviewed publications in journals including Nature and the Royal Society, and multiple granted patents in the medical device space, our founder, Dr Hector Zenil, has contributed to the development of methods in optimal inference theory and their applications to scientific discovery, computational medicine, and systems biology, in particular to blood, cellular, and molecular biology.

Dr Hector Zenil is a pioneer in Algorithmic Information Dynamics, a framework that treats biological systems as evolving computational processes that can be algorithmically analysed, decoded, and reprogrammed.

His work builds on Algorithmic Probability, a formal foundation underpinning modern artificial intelligence founded by Gregory Chaitin who described Dr. Zenil as a “new kind of practical theoretician” during his PhD defence thesis, also publicly commending his work.

For over two decades, Dr Zenil has maintained a long-standing collaboration with Stephen Wolfram, a central figure in modern computation and AI. After Wolfram’s early mentorship in the mid-2000s, he was appointed Senior Research Fellow at Wolfram’s personal Think Tank in Boston. He later was entrusted by Wolfram to serve as the Managing Editor of his journal Complex Systems, the first in the field, founded by Wolfram in 1987.

Dr Zenil contributed to computational systems and functions associated with Mathematica and worked on projects in computational linguistics connected to code used by systems such as Siri, Alexa, and OpenAI’s first official plugin. Wolfram has continued to reference Dr Zenil’s work in his own writings (P vs. NP and the Difficulty of Computation).

Dr Zenil’s scientific trajectory is further reflected in his association with leading figures in theoretical physics. Sir Roger Penrose, Nobel Laureate in Physics (2020), wrote a foreword to his work, commenting on his contributions.

By synthesising Gregory Chaitin’s work on information theory and algorithmic complexity with Stephen Wolfram’s computational universe approach, Dr Zenil has moved these elite theories out of the intellectual "ivory tower" into the clinic.

As the architect of the Algocyte® platform, he has translated the abstract "It from Bit" doctrine into a cutting-edge precision medicine solution. By replacing the "black box" approach of traditional AI with transparent, algorithmic causal discovery.
