Steps from A Startup Idea to Launching A Science Company

As the result of continued collaboration between Harvard Stem Cell Institute and Harvard Innovation Lab, this is the fourth workshop in the HSCI-iLab Series on Life Sciences Business Building.

In this workshop, Dr. Rossi will use his own experience with Moderna Therapeutics as a case example, to discuss how to evaluate a startup idea, create a spinout, and how to organize activities within and outside the lab in order to optimize the likelihood of successfully launching the startup.  

Speaker: 
Derrick Rossi, Assistant Professor, Department of Stem Cell and Regenerative Biology, Harvard University; Principal Faculty, Harvard Stem Cell Institute; Robertson Investigator, New York Stem Cell Foundation; Investigator, Program in Cellular and Molecular Medicine, Children’s Hospital Boston; Co-founder, Moderna Therapeutics
