Ever wondered how research makes it out of the lab and to patients? Start-ups, entrepreneurship, and biotechnology are proven methods for bringing novel science off the bench and to the market, where they have the potential to impact real people’s health and lives for the better. 

Andrea Ippolito ‘06, M.Eng ‘07, Director of W.E. Cornell, and founder of SimpliFed will facilitate a conversation with Alumnus Stephanie Wisner A&S ’16 Chemistry, who will share her findings from industry experts recently published in her new book, Building Backwards to Biotech: The Power of Entrepreneurship to Drive Cutting Edge Science to Market. Wisner will share about her career path from scientist to biotech cofounder, as well as the methods you need to understand in order to start your own start-up or understand the exciting emerging industry of biotech. Bring your questions, and get a chance to win a free book, signed by the author. 

This event is a collaboration between Women Entrepreneurs in STEM at Cornell (W.E. Cornell), Center for Regional Economic Advancement (CREA), Cornell Institute for Food Systems (CIFS), Cornell Division of Nutritional Sciences, Center for Life Science Ventures, Entrepreneurship at Cornell, and Careers Beyond Academia.
