I'm Sogand Schäfer, MD. I am a postdoc at Center for Craniofacial Innovation at Children's Hospital of Philadelphia Research Institute, currently researching the genetic origins of cleft palate. I am also co-founder and CEO of Weise AI, a precision medicine company building novel AI genetic tests for physician use.
I've also done research on novel biomaterials for reconstructive surgery, and have organized medical missions to Uganda.
I graduated from Universitätsklinikum Hamburg-Eppendorf (UKE) in 2023. I originally hail from Germany and now live in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
My aspiration is to solve unfairness by changing systemic inequalities in access to medicine worldwide, for all.
