Karim Refaey
I’m a physician-scientist turned venture capitalist at DigitalDx Ventures, where we invest in early-stage diagnostics and AI-enabled tools.
Before VC, I completed my MD from Egypt, an MSE in Biomedical Engineering from Johns Hopkins, and Neurosurgery from Johns Hopkins and Mayo Clinic. My research focused on NeuroTech, Epilepsy, and Brain-Computer Interfaces.
I held roles in Big Pharm like Siemens Healthineers, Johnson & Johnson, and Abbott which has deepened my understanding of clinical development, regulatory pathways, and commercialization strategies in healthcare.
