About
Founders
Dr. Sabrine ObbadFounder
Co-founder of Alara. I'm a pediatric dentist and private practice owner who experiences first hand the procurement mess we are trying to solve. I hold a B.Sc and M.Sc in Chemistry from NYU and a D.D.S from NYU College of Dentistry. Prior to being a dentist I was a pharmaceutical and computational chemist working in the field of protein biochemistry where I helped develop cancer drugs for clinical trials.
Elyas ObbadFounder
Co-founder of Alara. I was previously at DoorDash, Google, and Meta, where I led engineering on large-scale AI systems and consumer products used by millions. I hold an M.S. in Computer Science from Stanford and a B.S. from Columbia, specializing in AI and intelligent systems. As a researcher at Stanford’s Trustworthy AI Lab, I’ve published first-author work at ICML and NeurIPS on large language model data curation and alignment.
