Nina Tandon

Nina is the CEO and co-founder of Epibone, world’s first company growing living human bones and hearts! She’s also a certified yoga expert, TED Senior Fellow, professor of electrical engineering and tissue engineer and was named one of the 100 Most Creative People in Business by Fast Company. Even as a kid she used to take apart and reassemble TV sets, through which she gained interest in engineering. With Epibone, the need for 900,000 surgeries would be eliminated yearly! Tandon hopes Epibone will be conducting its first pilot tests on humans this year.

She’s talked about super cells in her book Super Cells: Building with Biology, wherein cells can be used to build bridges which can repair themselves, batteries which are alive and a world wherein energy is converted 10,000 times more efficiently than the sun! She’s excited about the fact that if machines brought about the first industrial revolution, information technology the second, then life could form the third. She’s surely the future of medical science.
