Theodore Borromeo Achacoso—known to most as Dr. Ted—has been collecting passports, degrees, and disciplines since most people were still figuring out laundry. A BS in Biology by 18 and an MD by 22 set the tone for a career that refuses to stay in one lane. From interventional neuroradiology and pharmacology in Manila to medical informatics and AI in Washington, DC, from hedge-fund quant work by the Delaware shore to anti-aging medicine in Paris, Brussels, and Monte Carlo, his path zigzags brilliantly across science, technology, and finance. He authored the first neural connectome ever published, helped pioneer wireless groupware, coined terms like artificial and computational neuroethology, and built tools spanning AI, imaging, distributed computing, and predictive finance. As founder and Chief Science and Technology Officer of Smarter Not Harder, Inc. and architect of Health Optimization Medicine and Practice (HOMe/HOPe), Dr. Ted now mentors clinicians worldwide while advancing metabolomics, mitochondria, microbiota, and the future of human optimization.
