Our Story
Ryan Haynes and Shiv Gaglani started building Osmosis as medical students at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine. Outside of the classroom, they knew there had to be a better way to learn medicine more effectively. What began as a tool to help Shiv, Ryan, and their classmates has transformed into the Osmosis of today, a comprehensive platform that helps people around the world understand health more thoroughly.

Announcing the New, Reorganized, & Enhanced Osmosis Library
We’ve all been spending a lot more time at home in 2020. Inspired by Marie Kondo’s KonMari Method™ and TV shows like The Home Edit, people have been using this time to reorganize and optimize their living spaces to make life a little easier. This year, the Osmosis Content, Product, and Engineering Teams have been working hard on a 2020 “home renovation” project of our own: a huge overhaul of the Osmosis Library!
