Liran Belenzon is the CEO and co-founder of BenchSci. Born in Israel where he earned his law degree and sold his first startup, he immigrated to Canada to do his MBA where he met three Ph.D. students who were working on an AI platform that could solve the declining productivity of drug discovery caused by avoidable inefficiencies in preclinical research.
Together, they founded BenchSci in 2015.
