My name is Anca Marinescu.

I build healthcare products powered by deep learning models and LLMs. My focus is agentic AI—systems that don't just predict, but take action and automate complex workflows. Currently building at Translucent.

I’m based in New York City. Feel free to reach out on LinkedIn if you’d like to get in touch!

I'm energized by 0-1 challenges in uncharted territory—particularly in healthcare, where AI innovation will transform lives at scale.

Translucent

Flatiron Health

Flatiron Health is a leader in Real-World Evidence, transforming oncology research through AI-powered data extraction at scale.

I lead Flatiron's Machine Learning team, building flagship AI products that unlock insights from 5M+ cancer patient records. I pioneered our first AI-powered data product from concept to launch—leveraging deep learning and LLMs to automate clinical data extraction—generating $61M in revenue in its first year. I productized our technology and scaled our AI product portfolio with disease-specific solutions that are redefining how researchers access real-world oncology data.

Elysium Health

Elysium Health is a pioneering health-tech startup developing products to optimize healthspan and cellular health, from DTC epigenetic diagnostics to longevity therapeutics.

As one of Elysium's first hires, I built products from zero to one—conceptualizing, validating, and launching new consumer health products and therapeutics that brought cutting-edge longevity science to market. Operating across product, science, and commercialization, I helped establish the foundation for a company whose mission and products I believe in deeply (and still use today).

You can find me building AI apps for fun, keeping up with AI research, and working on my passion projects — outside of that, when I can escape NYC, you can find me deep in nature (climbing, hiking, mountaineering, skiing, surfing). Recent summit achievements - Mont Blanc, Mt. Kenya, Mt. Tronador.

Outside of Work

Currently I’m building at Translucent, a category-defining company rebuilding the financial nervous system of healthcare. As Head of Product, I'm defining our product strategy and leading the zero-to-one buildout that will transform healthcare finance. Our goal to is to allow health systems to focus less on financial stability, and more about what matters most - keeping healthcare accessible.
