Miami, Florida(Hexa PR Wire–January 31, 2026)–Dr. Tuan Cao joins The Michael Peres Podcast to discuss how large-scale computing, genomics, and AI can support prevention-focused healthcare. Cao, a Cornell-trained computer scientist and co-founder and CEO of LIFE AI and Genetica, describes how growing up in Vietnam in a medical family shaped his early exposure to traditional medicine and how that perspective later influenced his view that modern healthcare often prioritizes treatment over prevention. Cao explains what he learned building petabyte-scale systems at Google and why infrastructure design matters when health tools need to work across populations and devices. He discusses historical gaps in genomic research, including the imbalance in data coverage across Western and underrepresented communities, and how Life.ai began by focusing on broader representation. The conversation also covers how genomics, gut and lifestyle data, and connected devices can be combined to detect risk earlier and support personalized prevention strategies.
