Alex Jani: interviewing visionaries of healthcare innovation

The small amount of brown fat can make you slim. Too much may kill you. 

We just don't know who has it and how much. 

But this may change with this test.

You’ll hear about

  • brown fat but also white fat and beige fat
  • what happens when we have too much brown fat or too little
  • a new contrast agent to see brown fat on a CT scan
  • that allows targeted therapies for cancer, diabetes, obesity,
  • and even longevity


Dr. Andrej Babic is the CEO of Adiposs. A pharmacist with a PhD in medicinal chemistry who developed molecules for the diagnosis of diabetes, obesity, and cancer at the University of Geneva. He holds patents in medical imaging, photodynamic therapy, and nanotechnology.

Adiposs is a Swiss startup that develops ImageBAT, a first-in-class CT contrast agent for brown fat. This can be a game changer in obesity treatments, metabolic diseases, diabetes type 2, and cancer.
