"I didn't start a company to cure hangovers...there was this incredible technology that allows us to engineer a bacteria to perform a function that people will benefit from." Join me for an exciting conversation with a young scientist with a Ph.D. in microbiology. We'll discuss his journey into entrepreneurship and his mission to utilize science and the body's natural processes to enhance lives.
