Our Team

What we have learned in human medicine is that rapid developments for improved treatments and healthcare come from a nurturing, collaborative environment where all the talents combine for an effective discovery and translational research pipeline. vHive is applying this ethos to veterinary medicine. We have leaders in veterinary medicine, business development, biomedicine, informatics, and artificial intelligence setting the tone for our concerted efforts to improve animal health.
