Varun Sharma

Founder, CEO and CTO, NEUVIOR

Varun Sharma runs NEUVIOR and VARUNÉ Bio, working across medicines, biomedical research, and formulation science.

Varun founded NEUVIOR in August 2025. He leads the company’s direction across Medicines Intelligence, Biomedical Research, and Resource Economics, bringing its scientific interests into a coherent programme of development.

A founder’s perspective

I want NEUVIOR to build on the extraordinary history of medicine whilst giving people the creative and scientific freedom to imagine what it could still become.

I talk about art because ingenuity is part of serious work. It appears in the way someone notices a connection, frames a question, or finds a more revealing experiment. It also appears in the care given to the smallest detail. A good idea deserves that kind of attention.

The question has to be worth asking. The details have to withstand scrutiny. And what emerges has to matter to people whose lives and work may be very different from our own.

Building this company means being open to challenge. It means admitting what we do not yet understand, making room for other people’s expertise, and saying no when a direction does not deserve the next commitment. I see that openness as part of the freedom to do ambitious work well.

NEUVIOR is a place to pursue new possibilities in medicine with imagination, intelligence, and care. The people who join us will give that purpose its substance.

From a scientific question to the environment it needs

Varun’s Constellation vision connects scientific work with the places that could help it develop: specialist facilities, workspaces, industry and public discovery. Scotland is under consideration for a first destination. The ambition is one connected concept, with each location shaped around the people, capabilities and demand it could serve.

Founder perspective

How does an interesting question earn a commitment?

A founder can connect ideas across medicine, software and infrastructure, but a connection still needs people who can challenge it. Explore four parts of Varun’s stated approach and switch between a collaborator’s and an investor’s questions. The diagram describes a way of working, rather than evidence that a programme has succeeded.

Find the contribution that changes the work

A useful first conversation starts with the scientific or operating question and the expertise needed to answer it. Look for a contribution with a clear boundary, access requirements and an output another person can assess. Shared interest is a starting condition; collaboration still requires its own agreement.

Bring one question and the expertise or access you could contribute.

In focus

Worthwhile question

An attractive connection should lead to a question whose answer matters to somebody beyond the company. Varun’s founder statement places imagination alongside usefulness; a programme brief needs to name the person, uncertainty and consequence that make the investigation worth doing.
