Srinivasan was referred to trump by venture capitalist Peter Thiel who became the first openly gay person to speak at a Republican convention this past summer.
Srinivasan is credited with developing a pregnancy test to detect Down Syndrome and co-founded CounsylInc. He reportedly met with the President-elect at Trump Tower on Thursday.
