This week I chatted with Oriana Papin-Zoghbi, CEO and co-founder of AOA Dx. Oriana shares insights on the challenges of fundraising and the importance of building a network for startup success. She highlights her career shift from biochemistry to economics and international relations, finally leading to her involvement in women's health diagnostics. Oriana emphasizes the significance of finding one's passion for excelling in their field and the role of previous startup successes in her current venture. I also loved learning more about AOA Dx's mission to revolutionize women's health diagnostics, focusing on unmet needs such as early ovarian cancer detection through innovative biomarker research. Oriana highlights the impact of leadership, resilience, and the pursuit of innovation in healthcare.
