Cambridge, MA – November 18, 2025 – Via Scientific, Inc. today announced that Shah Nawaz, most recently VP of Digital Technology & Transformation at Regeneron and former Executive Director, Head of Data Analytics & AI at Regeneron, has joined Via Scientific's Product and Technology Advisory Board.
Nawaz is a seasoned technology executive and strategist recognized for building intelligent systems that make data, computation, and human expertise work seamlessly together. His appointment strengthens Via Scientific’s mission to advance AI-powered, scalable, transparent, and collaborative computation for life sciences.
Building Intelligent Foundations for Discovery
Nawaz brings more than two decades of experience leading digital transformation across the life sciences, healthcare, and technology sectors. As Vice President of Digital Technology and Transformation at Regeneron, he guided enterprise-wide modernization, aligning AI, data, and cloud strategies with research, clinical, and operational goals. His leadership helped launch enterprise AI and data platforms that transformed how scientific teams access insights, streamline discovery, and manage digital compliance.
Earlier in his career, Nawaz co-founded several technology ventures, including an oncology regimen analysis platform that achieved a successful exit, and helped architect digital foundations at Shire Pharmaceuticals to support growth through data integration and automation. Across each role, his focus has remained consistent: building systems that scientists trust, regulators respect, and innovators can use.
A Shared Vision for Human-Centered AI
“AI’s next chapter in science depends on building trust and usability into every layer,” said Nawaz. “At Via Scientific, I see a team that understands how technology should serve researchers, not distract them. When systems quietly handle the complexity, scientists can focus on what matters most: advancing discovery.”
Perspective from Via Scientific Leadership
“Shah brings both strategic vision and deep, practical experience,” said Jim Crowley, CEO of Via Scientific. “He has led digital modernization at scale and understands the realities of deploying AI in highly regulated environments. His insight into connecting data, governance, and user experience will further accelerate our roadmap.”
Guided by Purpose and Practicality
Today, Nawaz leads a stealth-stage Science AI company focused on uniting the simplicity of consumer AI with the precision and compliance that biopharma demands. He also advises boards and leadership teams on responsibly scaling AI from pilot to production, and teaches at the University of California, Irvine Center for Digital Transformation.
His work reflects a guiding belief: the future of science depends not only on discovery, but on how intelligently we connect it.
