Lab-to-Launch Lounge

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.
