IRWIN WONG FOR FORBES

Yuki

Shimahara, 29

LPIXEL JAPAN

Cars were Shimahara’s original

love. But after learning about stem

cells and their potential to treat

diseases, he chose to study cellular

biology rather than automobile

engineering at college.

In 2013, Shimahara cofounded

software developer LPixel, which

offers a cloud-based platform with

artificial intelligence to interpret

and catalog medical imaging. This

includes X-rays, CT scans and MRIs.

“The problem today is that doctors

are overwhelmed with imaging

data and there are fewer doctors.

I wanted to help them,” says

Shimahara. And because scientists

constantly dump gigabytes

of research data without fully

analyzing it, “a Nobel Prize could

be thrown away,” he adds.

Spun out of Tokyo University’s

life sciences laboratory, where

Shimahara is a Ph.D. student, LPixel

received $7 million in backing

from JAFCO and carbon-fiber

giant Toray in 2016. The Japanese

government selected it as one of its

“Next Innovators.” —James Simms
