Harvard graduate students in CxO roles return to campus to share how they launched their research out from Harvard labs and into the market.

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. 

The Lab-to-Launch Lounge (LLL) series brings 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

Please RSVP here.
