CEO

Ben is a veteran scientific storyteller and strategist who has helped some of the leading thinkers of our time nail their narrative. He spent over a decade with the TED Conference, training scientists to distill their ideas and deliver them with gusto. After founding a PR firm focused on frontier biotech, he now advises Congress on biotech strategy through the National Security Commission on Emerging Biotechnology.He knows firsthand how crucial it is for cutting-edge companies to explain their technology to non-scientists and investors — but he could never find an agency that did it effectively. So he co-founded Bunsen to be the world's leading creative agency for frontier science companies: the one shop that truly understands what they do, and how to get people excited about it.He lives in New York.

From Cells to Patients: Solving the Scale Mismatch in Virtual Biology

Drug discovery often measures biology at the cell level while interventions work at the tissue, organ, or whole-patient scale. This mismatch can make accurate cell-level predictions irrelevant in the clinic. This session dives into strategies to bridge that gap: multiscale modeling that nests single-cell dynamics within organ-level simulations, spatial transcriptomics that preserve context, and surrogate models that translate cell-level outputs into clinical biomarkers. Speakers will ask: how do we ensure virtual biology reflects not just what cells do in isolation, but how biology behaves in the real complexity of patients?
