Lab to Lives
A simple question started this show: How do we medicine from the lab to making a difference in people's lives as quickly as possible?
The answers are complex. Actual solutions are hard to come by. We want to distill ideas until we see actual impact in the industry.
Our three hosts all have backgrounds in life sciences and in improv comedy. Together, with their guests, they're on a mission to have conversations that can have an impact. And have some fun along the way.
