Hello Jose, I wish you success in such an important endeavor.

I have a question, but it is more of an advice one, rather than specifics about your company. I am going to soon embark in a Masters program for medical research, then medical school after. What advice do you have for a novice that is interested in the idea of starting a biotech company in the future? What are the things I can do now that can set me up for the future with regards to starting a biotech company?

I am not sure that there is any one path or unique suggestion. But my general advice was to stay curious, learn as much as possible and keep an eye for what could be, rather than just accepting things as they are. Also I strongly believe in the cross pollination of concepts leading to unique ideas. So having some sort of orthogonal knowledge in addition to medicine is helpful (e.g. business, chemistry, biology, programming, etc).
