About Me

Mathew Mitchell is a multifaceted medical student and entrepreneur, bridging the gap between medical innovation, technology, and translational research. His journey, fueled by a personal encounter with the dire consequences of antibiotic resistance, led to the inception of the biopharma startup Organicin Scientific. As a co-founder of Organicin, Mathew has pioneered the development of bacteriocin-based solutions with an emphasis on microbiome modulation for improved health outcomes. He was awarded the Startup Innovation Better Environment Award for his presentation at the UN's FAO World Food Forum, and for his contributions in combating antibiotic resistance and promoting food availability. 

His academic journey is marked by leadership as the Vice President of his class at Georgetown University while pursuing his MS in Physiology and Biophysics, which he sought after earning his BS in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology from UMass Amherst. Mathew is currently earning his MD at Drexel University College of Medicine. His Fulbright research will focus on human microbiome remodeling for the treatment of non-infectious disease.
