AOA Dx Welcomes Women’s Health Industry Leader Surbhi Sarna as an Independent Board Member

AOA Dx is excited to announce the appointment of Surbhi Sarna as an Independent Board Member. Sarna is most recently known for becoming Y Combinator’s first-ever partner for healthcare and biotech.

Sarna is the founder and former CEO of nVision Medical, a medical device company that to date, is the only device cleared by the FDA to collect cells from the fallopian tube, the known site of the most lethal forms of ovarian cancer. nVision Medical was acquired by Boston Scientific in 2018 for $275 million.

“The team is beyond thrilled to welcome Surbhi Sarna as a board member. We strongly admire her drive, perseverance and dedication to addressing unmet needs in women’s health.  We share this passion with her and believe she will add great value to our team. Her work with women’s health and ovarian cancer is an essential asset for AOA” said Oriana Papin-Zoghbi, CEO and Co-founder of AOA Dx.

Sarna has extensive experience with early product development, funding, clinical trials and commercialization. She led her company from its inception through the acquisition and beyond.

“Women’s lives around the world will continue to be threatened by ovarian cancer if more action is not taken. As a woman and entrepreneur focused on women’s health, I am excited and proud to work with AOA Dx. Their drive, leadership and technology has the potential to make a huge impact on how we diagnose and treat ovarian cancer patients. I look forward to being a part of this journey with them.” – Surbhi Sarna

Following the acquisition of nVision Medical, Sarna served as a full-time leader at Boston Scientific, and is currently a Group Partner at Y Combinator and Catalyst Health Ventures, and sits on the board of Penumbra, Progenity, Astia, Draper University and the Harker School. She also held a variety of roles in healthcare including roles at BioCardia and Abbott Vascular.
