Harvard Grid's Lab-to-Launch Lounge: VC-funded Harvard PhDs
August 22nd, 2024 ~ 04:00pm - 06:00pm
The Node (Rm. 2.203), 150 Western Ave, Boston, MA 02134, USA
Join us this week as we sit down with Dr. Shardule Shah, Co-Founder and CEO of Lime Theraputics, and Dr. Wenbo Shi, CEO and Founder of Singularity.
Lime Theraputics is inventing breakthrough lipid-targeting therapeutics using our novel drug discovery platform.
Singularity Energy provides data and software solutions for grid decarbonization.
The Lab-to-Launch Lounge (LLL) series brings former Harvard graduate students in CXO roles back to campus to hear how they launched their research out from Harvard labs:
- how did they get here
- what would they do differently--and what they would not do at all--if a student again
- anything else on your mind
Join the discussion, meet fun people, grab a bite, and leave with new ideas. Open to the Harvard community.
