Speaker Profile
M.D., CEO, Heteron BIotechnologies,
Biography
Anastasia Rigas leads Heteron Biotechnologies in developing a clinical-stage breath diagnostics platform that leverages advanced machine learning to transform complex breath profilescontaining thousands of gases and VOCsinto precise, multi-indication diagnostics. Under her leadership, Heterons multidisciplinary team has applied and rigorously tested various models on proprietary datasets, achieving exceptionally high classification accuracy. This builds on prior peer-reviewed expertise now integrated in-house, positioning the platform to detect H. pylori for gastric cancer prevention, stratify metabolic syndrome risk, and enable future hepatic and performance health applications. The technology is advancing under FDA CDRH oversight with pivotal trials in preparation and secured by global PCT filings covering hardware, software, and disease-specific biomarkers. Passionate about shifting healthcare from reactive intervention to AI-driven prevention, Anastasia coordinates regulatory strategy, multi-center clinical design, and strategic partnerships to establish breath-based machine learning diagnostics as a new paradigm in accessible precision medicine
