Omniomics.ai was founded by Professor Fatemeh Vafaee, one of the most recognised figures in applied AI for the life sciences. With a PhD in Artificial Intelligence from the University of Illinois at Chicago and more than 15 years translating advanced machine learning into deployable biomedical solutions, Professor Vafaee brings a rare combination of frontier research capability and end-to-end industry delivery.
Professor Vafaee leads the development of scalable AI platforms spanning the complete innovation pipeline — from algorithm design and multi-omics data integration through to clinical validation, commercial diagnostics, and protected intellectual property. Her work sits at the intersection of drug discovery, precision medicine, and AI diagnostics, with a proven ability to take research from hypothesis to market-ready technology.
As Co-founder of OmniTx.AI — a UNSW spin-out building knowledge-graph–powered AI systems for therapeutic development — Professor Vafaee has demonstrated that the highest-quality research can be translated into commercially significant, proprietary platforms. Her AI-identified drug targets in oncology are currently under evaluation in partnership with the Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre, one of the world's leading cancer research institutions.
Her track record includes over $19 million in secured funding from Australia's most competitive grant bodies — ARC, NHMRC, MRFF, and CRCP — as well as direct industry partnerships with listed and unlisted pharmaceutical and biotech companies.
