Скачать или смотреть Founder-Led Biotech: How 9 Months Abroad Helped David Nelles Found His 2nd Biotech Startup

For our second episode, we’ve invited David Nelles, previous co-founder of Locanabio and current co-founder, CEO, and Chief Scientist of a stealth mode biotech. During graduate school, David pioneered the use of CRISPR/Cas9 to target RNA in human cells, and coupled with his passion for building new technologies, went on to found Locanabio ($100 million Series B funding in 2020). While stranded in Europe during the COVID-19 pandemic, he conceived his latest venture, an RNA therapeutics startup based out of JLABS.

Hear David talk about how:
His experience founding his first company as a post doc, and his second from what he calls “the wilderness”
Why finding a co-founder is like dating and why his first hire was a PhD and his second hire was a robot
Why founder-led biotech startups are empowering more graduates than ever to start companies
